Specimen preparation for microstructural examination involves a series of operations, the ease and success of each depends on thepreceding step. The first cut impacts all subsequent steps and the impact can be quite detrimental if too much damage is induced duringsectioning. In some cases, very large parts are initially cut with torch or plasma cutters, or band saws and then resectioned with abrasiveor precision equipment. The proper equipment selection and technique will minimize the deformation. A key component in the sectioningtechnique is firm and stable vising of the part. If the vise is loose or clamped improperly, the cut may be stalled, the abrasive wheeldamaged, or the part itself may undergo deformation.

Did You Know?

SmartCut automatically lowers the cutter’sfeed rate when the cutting motor reaches itsmaximum load to minimize sample damage.

SmartPulse activates the pulse action of thecutting arm. The arm will move downward fora short amount of time and then stop for thesame amount of time in a cycle. This pause incutting allows more coolant into the cutting areato minimize sample damage.

Wheel Path

Sample

Chop Cutting with Pulsing Wheel contact still governed by sample size.The pulsing action pauses the feed rate inshort intervals enabling coolant to washaway swarf and dissipate heat.

Chop Cutting The traditional form of machine operation.Wheel contact arc is governed by samplesize. Generally a struggle with large/difficultparts.

Y-Feed Cut The abrasive wheel is stationary and the cut-ting table moves forward completing a one

time cut into the sample. Wheel contact arcis governed by sample size.

Saw Cut

The wheel contact arc can be precisely

controlled via depth increment. The traversestroke must always exceed the part length

to avoid a change in wheel contact arc area.

Machine needs to be set for each part.

Planer Cut

The abrasive wheel lowers into the sampleat an incremental rate before the cuttingtable moves in the forward motion. Wheelcontact arc is determined by cut depth.

Orbital Similar in action to Saw Cut but on a curved

path. Simpler and quicker in operation.

Part size is irrelevant as the orbital action

produces a minimum contact arc area during

cutting.

CUTTING STYLE AND WHEEL PATH

Did You Know?

MACC (Minimal Area of Contact Cutting) offers advantages in comparison to thetraditional chop cut. Orbital, Saw, and Planer cut types minimize the contact areabetween the abrasive wheel and sample allowing you to obtain a quality surface onlarge and difficult samples. Cooling efficiency is also increased resulting in a samplewith little to no deformation.

• Manual operation, 4Hp• 10in [254mm] wheel capacity• 12mm T-Slot stainless steel bed• Includes mechanical brake

(Recirculating system and vising not included)

The most commonly used sectioning device in the microstructural analysis laboratory is the abrasive cutter. Selecting the correct wheelfor a specific application, including abrasive type, size, bond strength and overall wheel thickness is essential to achieving a good cut.In addition, abrasive sectioning should be performed wet, with an ample flow of coolant that includes both corrosion protection andlubrication. Proper technique will minimize surface damage and provide adequate cutting rates. There are many different abrasive cutters,accessories and consumables available. When selecting an abrasive cutter, consider the sample size, volume of sectioning required andthe variety of parts.

Wheel was previously cracked at start up Handle carefully

Resistance to cutting Slow wheel bond breakdown

• Select a wheel with softer bonding• Use a “pulse” cutting mode• Use cutter with orbital motion or with Minimal Area of

Contact Cutting* (MACC) ability

Stalled wheels

Inadequate cutter capacity• Use cutter with greater horsepower• Reduce pressure or feed rate• Use with cutter orbital motion or with MACC ability

Pinched blade due to movement ofspecimen

Tighten the vise on one side less than on the other side

*Minimal Area of Contact Cutting as on the Delta™ Orbital Abrasive Cutter

Coolant Care: Maintaining Your Recirculating System

Left - As water in the coolant tank evaporates,the remaining water becomes harder, reducingthe effectiveness of the coolant. This graphshows that the hardness of the water willdouble in only ten days. This can be eliminatedby using distilled or other chemically pure water.

Right - In this illustration, the elements of thecoolant (represented by A-L) combine with theminerals in hard water (represented by V-Z),resulting in reduced coolant effiecency and asticky residue. When mixed with chemicallypure water, the coolant formula remains intactand performs as designed.

PRECISION CUTTERS

When sectioning small, delicate, or extremely hard materials, precision cutters are a must. These cutters primarily use thin, metal bondeddiamond wafering blades which allow for more precise cuts, less material (kerf) loss and less induced deformation. Very thin abrasivewheels can also be used on larger models. Blade selection is based on the material type. The goal is to find a blade that will create thebest surface finish while providing a suitable cut time for the operator. In order to have optimum cut times and minimal deformation, it isessential to use ample coolant. This will provide adequate coolant to keep the sample and blade cool, remove any debris from the cuttingarea and enable the abrasive to provide the best cutting action.

Support clips are for use in supporting specimens during mounting. The weight and hardness of the clips should be considered whenchoosing a clip. The stainless steel SamplKlip™ is the heaviest clip, but may be too hard for use when preparing a soft material. TheUniClip™ is the next heaviest clip and is softer, making it more compatible with soft materials. For metallic specimens that are to beetched after preparation, one of the polymer clips (SamplKlip I, Specimen Support Clip, or UniClip) is best to prevent interference withetching due to a stainless steel clip in contact with the specimen.

The grinding and polishing steps in a metallographic preparation method can be accomplished in many ways and combinations. Moststeps are performed on a table-top unit that can be used for both grinding and polishing. There are also systems that are strictly forgrinding.

The goal of any method is to prepare a final polished specimen free of deformation and suitable for analysis. The initial abrasive sizeshould be as small as possible, yet be able to create a flat surface and remove any sectioning deformation. Each subsequent step shouldinduce as little deformation as possible while removing any damage from the previous step. Using adequate lubrication, most commonlywater, throughout the process will aid in minimizing deformation.

GRINDING CONSUMABLES

When selecting a grinding surface there are several factors to consider: amount of material to remove, durability of the grinding surfaceand the material type.

SiC paper provides rapid material removal for most metal and alloys with minimal sample deformation. However the majority of thematerial removal occurs within the first minute. For optimum material removal on harder materials, such as sintered carbides andceramics, sintered metal bonded and resin bonded diamond discs should be used. An additional advantage of diamond discs is theirlongevity.

Diamond lapping films have been designed for various material applications including microelectronic devices, wafers ceramics, and

optical fibers. Fixed abrasives such as UltraPrep™ Diamond Films offer excellent finishing capabilities, less abrasive embedding and moreuniform material removal.

A magnetic-based system used in conjunction with either abrasive surfaces or polishing cloths. Apex consists of four components,requiring two components to form a system. The first component, Apex M, is long-life magnetic disc with a pressure sensitive adhesive(PSA) backing on one side and can be used on any conventional platen. Select from Apex B or the magnetic backed Apex S to completeyour system. Apex B bimetallic plate can be used between Apex M and any PSA backed abrasive, polishing cloth or other consumableof choice. Apex S magnetic backed carrier film can be used between Apex M and any consumable with the compatible high frictionbacking, like CarbiMet™ S.

The MagnoSystem is an alternative offering, also comprised of two components. Apex MagnoDisc or MagnoFix is a direct subsitutefor Apex M, while the MagnoMet or MagnoPad are similar but single layers plates like Apex B.

The PSA backed Apex S carrier film is for use between any platen and consumables with the compatible high friction backing, likeCarbiMet S.

Did You Know?

Using Apex CGD or DGD, you can significantly reduce your grinding times while acheiving excellent flatness and edge retention.These versatile, long wear discs are suitable for most material applications and reduce change over time. Using just water, theyproduce far less mess during preparation, especially when used to replace a more traditional diamond and polishing cloth step.While not required for continued performance, they can be periodically dressed to refresh grinding rates, particularly when used ongummy materials.

Tips, Tricks & Techniques

• When laying a cloth on a bimetallic plate or platen, start at an edge or use a roller to preventair bubbles from being trapped under a cloth.

• A dry cloth will scratch specimens and can cause tearing. Wet a new cloth with an abrasivesuspension, extender or water.

• Use each cloth with abrasive of a single particle size only. Doing otherwise will cause undesirablescratches on specimen.

• Rinse cloth briefly under water after each polishing cycle to maintain their integrity.

Diamond is routinely used for the preparation of metals, ceramics and minerals due to the high removal rates. The cutting rate iseven further enhanced when selecting polycrystalline diamond rather than monocrystalline. The increased number of facets on thepolycrystalline structure enables efficient cutting and minimal deformation.

When working with water sensitive or soft materials that have a tendency to embed abrasive particles, paste is your best choice.However, if you are interested in a fully automated approach, diamond suspensions are required.

MetaDi Fluid is recommended for use with all MetaDi Pastes and most material applications

Did You Know?

• Diamond paste products are best suited to materials prone to diamond embedding.• Pastes are typically applied to a clean cloth by rotating the platen at approximately 50rpm and by

placing the syringe tip about 2in [5cm] out from the center of the platen. Start dispensing the pasteonto the cloth, resulting in a spiral pattern, if the bead is raised, too much product has been dispensed.

• AutoMet Oil recommended for use with MetaDi Pastes or materials sensitive to water.

MetaDi Ultra Polycrystalline Diamond Paste, 20g

Sharp edges of monocrystallinediamonds of MetaDi DiamondPaste ensure clean and efficientcutting action.

Angular, blocky-shaped polycrystalline diamond of MetaDiUltra provide numerous cuttingfacets on the particle surface,resulting in less deformation.

Final polish solutions remove the final layer of surface deformation often invisible to the naked eye. Yet the removal of this deformationis essential when evaluating with high magnifications, polarized light, differential interference contrast as well as using EBSD techniques.A variety of application specific suspensions are available to provide superior performance.

MasterMet™, chemo-mechanical colloidal silica (SiO2), is especially suited for ferrous and nonferrous materials, titanium, semiconductors

and hard materials such as ceramics.

Water sensitive materials can be handled with MasterPolish™ which contains little water. The solution provides high material removal

rate due to a combination of the high pH and blending of alumina and colloidal silica abrasives.

Alumina solutions are best for soft materials such as aluminum, brass, copper, precious metals and electronics. In addition, MasterPrep™ is well suited for automated dispensing.

Microscopy, analysis of features or microstructures, and other analytical testing is usually performed on specimens once they have beensectioned, mounted, and prepared with suitable grinding and polishing steps to reveal the features of interest. In general, the type ofinformation that is of interest will dictate the type of microscope that will be most suitable for the application.

Microscopes offered by Buehler generally fall into the categories of stereo microscopes, upright microscopes, or inverted microscopes.Inverted microscopes are commonly referred to as metallurgical microscopes. Microscopes may offer episcopic (reflected light) observation,diascopic (transmitted light) observation, or both possibilities. Illumination may be delivered in bright field mode (BF) or dark field mode(DF), and several techniques such as differential interference contrast (DIC) and polarized light microscopy make use of the nature of light

to reveal specific pieces of information when studying materials.

Applications:• Steel• Copper• Cast irons

• Thin materials

• Cemented carbides• Deep case hardened materials• Shallow case hardened materials

The Rockwell test is based on the difference in indentation depth between a smaller preliminary force (minor) and larger total force(major). Rockwell hardness values are expressed as a combination of a hardness number and a scale symbol representing the indenterand the minor and major loads. The hardness number is expressed by the symbol HR and the scale designation. Rockwell testingrequires no optical measurement and so has excellent speed and reproducibility.

Applications:• Ferrous, steel & non ferrous metals• IC wafers• Thin plastics• Metal foils & laminates• Platings

• Coatings• Surface layers• Heat treatment effects• Case depth• Carburized layer depth

• Ceramics• Carbides• Hardness from welding to deposition

Knoop and Vickers tests are performed by pressing an indenter of a specific geometry into the test surface at a known test force for aspecified time. After removing this force, the size of the resulting impression left in the material is measured optically. The size of theindent is used to calculate hardness. The Vickers indenter is a square based pyramid, and is best for comparability of hardness across awide range of materials and loads. The Knoop indenter is an elongated rhomboid and is usually used when very shallow or closely spacedindents are required. This form of test machine is often split into two categories: Macro- and Micro-Hardness.

Macro Hardness testing (using loads greater than 1kg) produces larger indents and is suited to testing general materials properties. Thisis usually only done with Vickers type indenters.

Micro Hardness testing uses loads less than 1kg and is used to test small areas, when multiple indents need to be made close to eachother (e.g. to assess changing hardness), for testing close to edges or interfaces, or for thin samples. Both Vickers and Knoop indenterscan be used in this test range.

The Brinell test consists of applying a constant load or force, usually between 62.5 and 3000Kgf, for a specified time (from 10 - 30seconds) using a 2.5, 5 or 10mm diameter tungsten carbide ball. The load time period is required to ensure that plastic flow of the testmaterial has ceased. Lower forces and smaller diameter balls are sometimes used in specific applications. After removal of the load, thediameter of the recovered impression is measured using a low power microscope or automatic measuring device.

The actual Brinell Hardness Number (BHN) is calculated by factoring the indent size and the test force however it is not necessary to makethe actual calculation for each test. The BH3000 tester can calculate Brinell hardness directly by simply typing in the indent size measuredusing the external measuring microscope. Alternatively, we also offer an automatic PC based measurement system.

More thorough testing of increasingly complex materials, to include microstructural analysis, is being driven by industry and consumerrequirements for improved product quality and reliability. Existing methods for specimen preparation can be insufficient to produceexcellent results in higher throughput environments. The desire for speed, consistency and quality have created demand for improvedpreparation and analysis techniques. Besides offering solutions for this purpose, the training courses offered by Buehler enableindividuals to obtain or improve the necessary preparation skills.

Buehler® established the Institute for Microstructural Analysis in 1989, offering both general introductory courses and specializedcourses focused on the needs of specific industries or applications. All courses include supervised, hands-on activities in the laboratory

with classroom instruction to help students understand the principles. Courses are offered at the Buehler headquarters in Lake Bluff,IL, US, Buehler ITW Test & Measurement GmbH in Düsseldorf, DE, the University of Warwick and other affiliated institutions.
