Sample Preparation – Sectioning and Mounting explained

Sample preparation for tests such as the hardness test are critical when it comes to quality control, production, and engineering. Last month we went over the grinding and polishing of samples. Now we are going to explain the sectioning and mounting process of sample preparation. Sample Preparation – Sectioning and Mounting Explained. Sectioning The sectioning part of the sample preparation is where the sample is cut or “sectioned” off from the main material source. One of the most important aspects of sectioning is to not alter the microstructure or damage fracture features when cutting a specimen. If an abrasive saw... Continue reading

Sample Preparation – Grinding and polishing explained

In order to take proper measurements on a specimen that is being tested, such as a piece of material for a hardness test, proper sample preparation is a key step in order to get accurate data from the test. In sample preparation, you usually have the following steps: sectioning, mounting, coarse grinding, fine grinding, polishing, etching and examination. We are going to explain the grinding and polishing steps in sample preparation. Sample Preparation – Grinding and polishing explained.   Grinding Grinding removes saw marks and levels and cleans the specimen surface. The goal at the end of grinding is to... Continue reading

What is Ultrasonic Hardness Testing

Hardness testing is absolutely critical in many industries and phases of manufacturing. Detecting defects during this process can save thousands of dollars and a lot of headaches later due to product or structural failure. Yet, traditional hardness testing is destructive to the test sample. In many cases, this is not what you want. Instead, you want to use a non-destructive testing method, like Ultra Sonic Hardness testing. What is Ultrasonic Hardness Testing Ultrasonic Hardness Testing is also known as Ultrasonic Contact Impedance. The Ultrasonic Contact Impedance method has been around for over 50 years and was developed heavy and/or unmovable... Continue reading
