“Polishing Guide” includes application and process information for metallography lab technicians.

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.

Solar Atmospheres Inc. of Souderton, Pa., received MedAccred critical process reaccreditation.

Checking our incoming raw-material quality often involves rating nonmetallic inclusions, particularly when heat treating to high hardnesses.

Powder metallurgy is a continually evolving technology utilizing advanced compaction techniques and new alloy systems to optimize mechanical performance of the resulting powder-metallurgy (PM) part.
