By analyzing the grain structure of metallographic samples, we can make accurate predictions about their mechanical properties. Smaller grain size means that the metal is less prone to plastic flow, while larger grains cause the metal to become more ductile. Larger grains will cause a decrease in both tensile and yield strength, and increase the metal’s percent elongation.
On Demand With the development of new alloys for coatings, it is even more important than ever to understand how something as generic as sample preparation can affect the evaluation of a coating
On Demand After mechanical preparation, the sample should be scratch-free, free from deformation, and ready for the microscope or hardness tester! Please join us as we discuss the basics of grinding and polishing sample materials.
On Demand This session will discuss the use of Big Data, the Internet of Things, and Predictive Analytics to improve thermal equipment reliability and reduce maintenance costs.
On Demand Brazing furnace atmospheres perform a critical role in the final quality and metallurgical properties of the brazed component. Typically, exothermic, dissociated ammonia, or nitrogen/hydrogen atmospheres are used for brazing mild steel, alloy steel, and stainless-steel parts.
On Demand Sustainability is becoming increasingly important to industrial manufacturers that rely on thermal processes to produce their goods. This is primarily driven by compliance to local governmental regulations, which are ever tightening and are becoming more and more common around the world.
On Demand Carburizing does not have to be ugly! This webinar is intended to help customers understand that there’s a better way to achieve high production carburizing and hardening: Clean carburizing.
On Demand The first step for metallographic preparation is sectioning the sample to a manageable size. In high-volume production environments, the ideal sectioning process is one that maintains cut quality while maximizing throughput.
On Demand Cold mounting samples is often necessary to protect fragile or coated materials during preparation and to obtain perfect edge-retention. Struers offers two different types of cold mounting resins, epoxy and acrylic, the choice of which is determined by many factors including: type of material, specimen characteristics, quantity of specimens, and quality requirements.
