Hot mounting is a process that involves compressing materialographic specimens in ground resin granules in a plane-parallel manner with the aid of a closed cylinder.
The hot mounting technique ensures high edge retention, provides an optimal edge protection. Due to the gap-free adhesion to the specimen surface it is particularly suitable for wet chemical etching after Polishing. With the Qpress 50 hot mounting press, even higher specimen throughputs can be efficiently hot mounted due to its modular design. For heat- or pressure-sensitive specimens, we recommend mounting using Qprep cold mounting media.
