Metallography Application Notes

For numerous applications, it is necessary to measure the quality of a weld, and there are several methods for doing so. Making a sacrificial test weld and using a microscope to measure the weld's critical areas is a popular technique. This procedure may require a lot of time and resources. However, by skipping the mounting and polishing stages, the work can be kept more efficient. Bypassing those phases in the metallographic sample preparation procedure, this "Cut and Etch" technique yields accurate readings.
