The goal of grinding and polishing steps is to prepare a final polished specimen that is free of deformation and suitable for analysis. This can be achieved in multiple ways depending on the overall goals of the lab.
Wilson® hardness testers include a comprehensive range of hardness testers from Rockwell®, Knoop/Vickers, and Brinell to fully automatic production systems.
Mounting your specimen is important for ease of handing and preservation of the sample edge. When deciding on which mounting technique to use, consider the size and geometry of your part, the part’s susceptibility to heat and pressure, and the desired throughput.
