Cut-off wheels for perfect metallographic sample preparation

Aluminium oxide cut-off wheels Bond: resin / rubber

QPREP Aluminum oxide cut-off wheels cover a wide range of materials from 30 HV to >650 HV.
 
Product Advantages

  • Wide range of application for various materials with different hardness’s
  • Long lifetime as well as low wear of the cut-off wheel
  • Premium abrasive particles enable the finest cutting surfaces, which shortens the following grinding steps
  • The synthetic resin bond allows dull abrasive particles to break out evenly during the cutting process

Recommended applications

  • Cutting of all materials

Silicon carbide cut-off wheels Bond: resin

Due to the lower hardness of silicon carbide particles compared to aluminum oxide particles, these cut-off wheels are the optimal choice for cutting soft as well as non-ferrous materials.

Product Advantages

  • Optimized cutting performance for non-ferrous metals and ductile metals
  • Long lifetime as well as low wear of the cut-off wheel

Recommended applications

  • QPREP silicon carbide cutting discs NF-A are suitable for cutting soft (e.g., copper, aluminum, brass) and mediumhard non-ferrous metals and alloys (e.g., bronze, Monel, gunmetal, AlMn1Cu vs. AlMgSi0.5) as well as hard non-metallic materials (e.g., glass, stone).
  • QPREP silicon carbide cutting disc Ti-A for cutting non-ferrous metals, Ti alloys (e.g., Ti6Al4V, Ti5Al2.5Sn), and refractory metals (e.g., molybdenum, tantalum, niobium)
