Mounting Machine
Samples can sometimes be difficult to handle because of their complex shape, their fragility or their small size. Achieving a high quality mount is essential to facilitate the handling, to protect fragile materials but also to obtain good preparation results for polishing and future analysis. The advantages of our processing techniques include eliminating the risk of blistering and edges shrinkage are guaranteed.
The last essential and crucial phase of the sample preparation process is polishing. The principle is simple, each step uses a finer abrasive than the previous one. The aim is to achieve a highly reflective flat surface and eliminate residual scratches and defects that would interfere with the analysis of the final results of metallographic controls such as microscopic analysis, hardness testing, microstructure inspections or dimensional inspections.
ardness tests are carried out daily, in different areas of activity, in order to determine the mechanical characteristics of a material (mechanical strength and ductility).
For metallic materials, the different scales of measurement are quite varied. The best known and most used ones are the Vickers, Knoop, Rockwell or Brinell scales.
The hardness of a material means the resistance of a surface of the sample to the penetration of a harder body, for example the ball or the tip (or indenter) of a Hardness Tester. If it withstands it well, it is said to be hard; otherwise, it is said to be soft.
Specifically, hardness is measured by correlating the size of the indentation (Vickers, Knoop and Brinell hardness) or its depth (Rockwell hardness).
This indentation is created using a Hardness Tester that applies the load via the indenter onto the sample to be tested.
Hardness measurements are standardised. Regarding hardness tests and their reference standards::
- Vickers: ISO 6507 and/or ASTM E384
- Knoop: ISO 4545 and/or ASTM E384

Metallographic Sample Preparation Process
Accurate metallographic analysis depends on proper sample preparation. Each stage plays an important role in producing reliable hardness measurements and clear microstructural observations.
Sample Cutting Process
Sample cutting removes a representative section of material while minimizing heat generation and mechanical deformation. Precision cutting preserves the original material structure for further examination.
Applications
- Steel Components
- Cast Materials
- Weld Inspection
- Failure Analysis
Mounting Methods
Mounting protects the specimen during preparation while improving handling and positioning for grinding, polishing, and microscopic examination.
Available Options
- Hot Mounting
- Cold Mounting
- Thermosetting Resins
- Acrylic Mounting Systems
Grinding Process
Grinding removes surface damage created during cutting and gradually prepares the specimen using progressively finer abrasives to achieve a flat, uniform surface.
Mirror Polishing
Mirror polishing produces a scratch-free surface that allows laboratories to accurately evaluate grain boundaries, inclusions, and other microstructural features.
Metallurgical Microscopy
Prepared specimens are examined under metallurgical microscopes to study grain structure, phase distribution, inclusions, and defects. This step supports quality control, material characterization, and failure investigations.
Hardness Testing Equipment
Hardness testing is an essential part of material characterization and quality assurance. Presi offers advanced hardness testers designed to evaluate the resistance of metals and alloys to indentation while supporting laboratory quality control and production inspection.
