Iqualitrol model iRock-440 meets the Jominy End Quench Test ASTM A255 to measure Hardenability of steels. Hardenability is a measure of the capacity of a steel to be hardened in depth when quenched from its austenitizing temperature. Hardenability of a steel should not be confused with the hardness ...

The purpose of the grinding step is to remove damage from cutting, planarize the specimen(s), and to remove material approaching the area of interest. The most common metallographic abrasive used is Silicon Carbide – SiC. It is an ideal abrasive for grinding because of its hardness and sharp edges. ... Read More

Below are the factors influence the local thickness of metal and oxide coatings by the microscopical examination of cross sections using an optical microscope. Under good conditions, when using an optical microscope, it is capable of giving an absolute measuring accuracy of 0.8 μm. This will ... Read More

Cold mounting requires no pressure and little heat, and is a means of mounting large numbers of specimens more rapidly than by compression mounting. Materials for cold mounting are classified as polyesters, epoxides and acrylics. Polyesters are transparent and usually water clear; Epoxides are ... Read More

The durometer selection guide cited from ASTM D2240 is designed to assist in the selection of the proper durometer type for various applications. It is generally recognized that durometer hardness determination below 20 and above 90 are unreliable. It is recommended that the next lower or higher ... Read More

Polishing discs are covered with soft cloth impregnated with abrasive diamond particles and an oily lubricant or water lubricant. Particles of two different grades are used: a coarser polish - typically with diamond particles 6 microns in diameter which should remove the scratches produced from the ... Read More

Surface layers damaged by cutting must be removed by grinding. Mounted specimens are ground with rotating discs of abrasive paper, for example wet silicon carbide paper. The coarseness of the paper is indicated by a number: the number of grains of silicon carbide per square inch. So, for example, ... Read More
