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.
