Solar Atmospheres of Western PA (SAWPA) can now offer in-house metallographic testing with the purchase of a Zeiss AxioVert A1 inverted materials microscope, accompanying Axiocam digital camera and Zen Core materials-analysis software package. The AxioVert A1 system allows for reflected brightfield, darkfield, polarized and circular contrasting techniques, along with a 50x to 1000x magnification range. The additional Axiocam and Zen Core materials-analysis software features automated determination of material grain size.
The microstructure of a material represents its fundamental properties, and most heat treatments are performed to tailor these properties to a specific need. Good metallographic preparation allows faster and more-accurate quality control – whether a microstructural inspection or performing specific tests such as case-depth analysis.
The semiautomatic HMV-G21testing system is designed for measuring the hardness of small parts and metallic structures used in precision equipment, processed surface layers and metal plating layers.
Buehler combined its business sectors Metallography, formerly based in Düsseldorf, and Hardness Testing, still widely known under its previous name, Wilson Hardness, and traditionally based in Esslingen am Neckar, at one site.
Verder Group expanded the portfolio of its Scientific Division in the business segment of sample preparation of solids by acquiring ATM, a leading manufacturer of machines for metallographic applications.
