Metallography Sample Preparation Equipment

Metal Testing Equipment

NextGen metallography equipment is focused on the structure refining of metals and alloys. It specializes in different methods of speci-men preparation including cutting, polishing and grinding. The process of evaluating physical properties of the specimen is made easy using the NextGen Metallography equip-ment. The final evaluation of the materials properties are analyzed with the use of a mi-croscope (optical or electron). The GenCut series is focused on precision and abrasive cutting of materials ranging from soft to hard metals. The cutting equipment is designed to shape specimens into your exact size for further analysis. The GenGrind series is used to achieve the desired surface finish of your materials based on your application. Grinding and polishing equipment is often used to remove the damage caused by the cutting blades of the abrasive saws upon extraction of the desired specimen size.Read More...

It creates a smooth and linear surface for evaluation of the physical properties of the material depending on the scope of your application. The grinding and polishing consumables have a long lasting life and are designed to prepare numerous samples before requiring replacement. The GenPress Series is designed to alleviate the user from the challenge of handling difficult speci-men shapes and sizes during sample preparation procedures. The equipment is also used to protect the edges and any other defects found on the surface of the samples. A thermoplastic medium is required for stability to support the sample in the process of grinding and polishing. The NextGen metallography equipment series provides you with the most advanced, safe and pre-cise equipment on the market to fulfill all your sample preparation needs.

What is the difference between a precision cutter and an abrasive cutter?

The main difference between the precision and abrasive cutters for metallography equipment is the delicacy of the cut. Metallographic precision cutters are designed to provide a high quality finish for delicate materials for ease of sample preparation needs. Metallographic abrasive cutters are more focused on sectioning larger parts into smaller parts as fast and as efficiently as possible. NextGen can supply your facility with a wide range of metallographic precision and abrasive cutters for all of your cutting needs. Request a quote today to learn more.

How long does it take to cut harder metals on NextGen's abrasive cutter machines?

It is difficult to estimate the precise time that it takes to cut a specific type of material with abrasive cutter machines. There are few factors responsible for the variance in time. These factors include the type of material, material hardness, and the structure of the sample. These three factors must be evaluated in synergy to identify the most accurate estimate for your metallographic abrasive cut. Contact us today to help identify the right abrasive cut off solution for you.

Can you customize your metallography abrasive cutters for unique cutting specifications?

NextGen is proud of the ability to create custom solution for various metallographic abrasive cutting needs. Our custom clamps are the secret. If require a custom solution for your abrasive metallographic cutting needs, we are here to help. Upon placing your order, the abrasive machines will be manufactured with your custom clamps and final tests with your specimens will take place in our facility to insure the optimal time / speed of cut for the optimal results.
