Metzer · Metallographic Grinding & Polishing Equipment

Surface preparation for useful material examination

Metzer metallographic grinding and polishing equipment supports preparation of specimens for microscopy and hardness evaluation. Successive preparation stages remove cutting damage and refine the surface for the intended examination. The machine, specimen holder and abrasive sequence must work together for the material being prepared.

Typical applications include preparing metal and alloy sections for microscopy, weld cross-section examination and surfaces for optical hardness measurements.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about metallographic grinding & polishing equipment.

What is the difference between grinding and polishing?

Grinding removes material and earlier preparation damage. Polishing refines the surface further so the features required for examination can be observed.

Can one preparation sequence be used for every material?

No. Material hardness, constituent phases and the examination objective influence the abrasive stages, polishing media and operating conditions.

Does automated preparation remove all manual work?

No. Specimen loading, preparation choices and surface assessment still matter. The degree of assistance depends on the base machine, specimen head and controls supplied.

What should I send for equipment selection?

Provide material, specimen or mount diameter, specimens per batch, daily volume and the examination planned after preparation.
