Polishing consumables for perfect metallographic sample preparation

The polishing of the materialographic specimen serves, similar like grinding and after the grinding step, to remove the deformation introduced into the material. For this purpose, the unbound abrasive/grain is applied to special polishing cloths in gradually finer grain sizes. A distinction is made between three polishing processes with different polishing media:

Pre-polishing
Grain sizes
15 - 9 µm
Hard-woven or hard-pressed cloths
Intermediate polishing
Grain sizes
9 - 3 µm
Hard-woven or lightly pile cloths
Final polishing
Grain sizes
3 - 0,5 µm
Oxide polishing
0.1 to 0.05 µm
Pile or flocked cloths, foamed for oxide suspensions

A wide range of QPREP polishing media, lubricants and polishing cloths is available for this purpose.
