Metal Testing Equipment

Metals reveal their true potential and performance through their microscopic structures. Metallographic analysis, the study of a material’s physical structure and components, uses a combination of grinding, polishing, and etching techniques to prepare specimens for close inspection.  From identifying alloy types to assessing potential properties, this process is important for industries like manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, […]

What’s the difference between grinding and polishing? When preparing specimens for microscopic examination, understanding this distinction can make all the difference. Whether you’re examining metals, ceramics, or other solid materials, grinding and polishing help you create a perfect surface for analysis. Let’s look at how each process works and how they fit together in specimen
