    Metallography is the science of preparing metal surfaces for microscopic analysis by grinding, polishing, and etching to reveal the microstructure. Sample preparation for metallographic observation takes approximately two days for ferrous metals and two days for non-ferrous metals. The process involves sectioning, mounting, grinding, polishing, and etching samples to study materials, ensure structure-property relationships are understood, predict properties, design new alloys, and check heat treatments.

    Metallography

    Sample Preparation and Examination

    What is Metallography??
    Metallography is the science and art of preparing a metal surface for analysis by grinding, polishing, and etching to show microstructual component.

    Application
    Study and characterization of materials. Ensure that the associations between properties and structure are properly understood. Predict properties of materials. Design alloys with new properties. Check if the material has been correctly heat treated.
