Metallografi,
är en specialisering inom metallurgi som går ut på studiet av metallers och legeringars struktur och utseende främst studerat genom mikroskop.
Precis som icke-metalliska kristaller visar metaller en kristallin struktur som kan beskrivas kvalitativt och kvantitativt.
I metallografi tar man fram ett prov, slipar det till hög glans och undersöker provet i ljusmikroskop. En repfri och plan yta som är representativ för materialet behövs för att undersöka materialets mikrostruktur. Det är viktigt att prepareringen av provet inte påverkar ytan genom värmeutveckling, formförändring, repor eller smörja.
Abrasive Cuting
Selecting the right cut-off wheel ensures freedom from burn and distortion and is the best way to save time and consumables. Correct cutting produce specimens which are in perfect condition for the next preparation steps.
Consumables
High sample quality and reproducible results can only be achieved with high quality consumables. Selecting the right consumables for each specific application is not just a matter of preparation qualty - it is also the best way to save time and money.
Grinding and Polishing
In order to obtain a highly reflective surface that is free from scratches and deformation, the specimens must be carefully grinded and polished before they can be examined under the microscope. Metkon offers high quality instruments and consumables for achieving this goal.

Microscopy
The Light Optıcal Microscope is the most important tool for the study of microstructures. All examinations of microstructure begins with use of the light microscope, starting at low magnification, followed by progressively higher magnifications for efficient assessment of the basic characteristics of the microstructure.
Mounting
After cutting the specimen, the next step is mounting. The aim of mounting is to handle small or odd shaped specimens and to protect fragile materials, thin layers or coating during preparation as well as to provide good edge retention. Mounting produces specimens with uniform size so that it is easier to handle in automatic holders for further preparation steps.

Precision Cutting
Precision cutting is used for precise and deformation-free cutting of “Metals, Ceramics, Electronic Components, Crystals, Composites, Biomaterials, Sintered Carbides, Minerals, etc.”
Sample Preparation for Spectroscopy
Sample Preparation for Spectroscopy Optical emission spectrometry (OES) and X-Ray fluorescence are most commonly used techniques for the analysis of metals and solid samples.
