Metallographic mounting solutions
The metallographic mounting process plays a pivotal role in the analysis of metallography, as appropriate mounting guarantees that specimens are firmly secured, correctly aligned, without gaps between specimen and mount material.
A quality mount ensures an efficient grinding and polishing process without the risk of reworks due to contamination between process steps.
Which mounting solution is best for you?
Selecting the optimal mounting solution for you, you must consider several factors. The most important ones are often:
- Edge Retention – Prevents rounding for precise analysis.
- Material Sensitivity – Cold mounting protects heat/pressure-sensitive samples.
- Conductive Mounting – Essential for SEM to avoid sample charging.
Selecting the right method ensures optimal results.
- Excellent edge retention on all materials - including very hard materials
- Best option for electronically conductive mounts
- Faster than cold mounting
- Best solution for a plane mounted surface
We provide a full range of hot mounting equipment, consumables, and accessories to deliver excellent edge retention, and short process times when working with hard materials.
