A properly executed and well controlled mounting process is a critical step in ensuring sample integrity and the reliability of subsequent preparation and analytical stages. Inadequate or poorly controlled embedding may compromise sample geometry, introduce surface defects, and adversely affect the quality and accuracy of analytical results.
Metallographic Mounting is a key procedure for protecting, stabilizing, and facilitating the handling of samples. By encapsulating the specimen in a suitable resin, its structural integrity is preserved, the risk of mechanical damage is reduced, and overall process repeatability is improved.
During the webinar, the criteria for selecting the most appropriate embedding technique: hot mounting, cold mounting, or UV polymerization, will be discussed, taking into account material properties, available processing time, and analytical objectives.
In addition, the best operational practices will be presented to achieve flat, defect free surfaces, adequate mechanical support, and reliable, reproducible results.
This technical session is intended for who is seeking to optimize sample preparation workflows and enhance the overall quality of laboratory analyses.
