Low-Melting point metals such as zinc, lead and tin are not always easy to prepare. These metals are very soft and malleable, and attaining a scratch free finish can be challenging. One of the more common problems during preparation of these specimens is embedding. Embedding occurs when hard abrasive particles (or other contaminant) becomes fixed …
Precision Made Perfect – Getting the most out of your Precision Diamond Saw
When sectioning small, delicate or extremely hard materials, precision diamond saws are ideal. These saws primarily use thin, metal bonded diamond wafering blades which allow for more precise cuts, less material loss and less induced deformation. For best performance from your precision Saw: Select the right blade: Based on the material type, the goal is …
