CONSUMABLES FOR CUTTING Sample preparation starts with cutting and good cutting means a good start Selecting the right cut-off wheel ensures freedom from burn and distortion and is the best way to save time and consumables. Correct cutting produce specimens which are in perfect condition for the next preparation steps.

ABRASIVE CUT-OFF WHEELS The most commonly used abrasives for the cutting of different materials are SiC and Al 2 O3 Silicon carbide is suitable for non-ferrous metals whereas aluminum oxide is preferred for ferrous metals. Hard wheels are used for cutting soft materials while soft wheels are recomended for cutting harder materials. Metkon TRENO type wheels are used to obtain superior cut surfaces. Metkon CUTO series wheels are suitable for routine laboratory applications requiring a balance between wheel life and performance.

DIAMOND CUT-OFF WHEELS Metal bonded wheels are used for cutting brittle materials, such as ceramics or minerals, while resin bonded wheels are used for more ductile materials, such as sintered carbides or composites containing predominantly hard phases. Several factors are important for choosing the appropriate wafering blade.These include: diamond concentration (low and high), diamond bond (metal plate), diamond size (fine or medium), blade diameter and blade thickness. The diamond concentration is important because it directly affects the load which is applied during cutting. For example,...

CONSUMABLES FOR MOUNTING After cutting the specimen the next step is mounting. The aim of mounting is to handle small or odd shaped specimens and to protect fragile materials, thin layers or coating during preparation as well as to provide good edge retention. Mounting produces speciemens with uniform size so that it is easier to handle in automatic holders for further preparation steps.
