Sectioning of the test sample is performed carefully to avoid altering or destroying the structure of the material. Thus, if an abrasive saw is used, it is important to keep the sample cool with lubricant or coolant.
After the specimen is sectioned to a convenient size, it is mounted in a plastic or epoxy material to facilitate handling during the grinding and polishing steps. Mounting media must be compatible with the sample in terms of hardness and abrasion resistance.
Why is sectioning and mounting necessary for sample preparation? Why is polishing is necessary before microhardness...
I need help to write a nice introduction for experiment 6
please ( no hands write ) typing
Thank you
HEAT TREATMENT OF STEELS EXPERIMENT 6 EXPERIMENT 6 HEAT TREATMENT OF STEELS THEORY The Effect of Cooling Rate One of the most convenient methods for controlling the properties of a given steel, i.e., a steel whose composition is already fixed, consists of austenizing the steel and ten cooling to room temperature at some predetermined rate. A variation of cooling rates...
