How to do materialographic preparation of mixed materials

Are you challenged by relief after materialographic preparation of inhomogeneus samples including a combination of soft and hard, brittle and ductile, small and large fraction of elements?

The theory of materialography uses the properties of homogeneous solid materials as a base for selection of methods and choice of consumables.

Many modern materials are engineered for multiple purposes and therefore often include several constituents with different characteristics. These designed materials are due to their inhomogeneity and sometimes very diversified materials properties a challenge in materialographic preparation. In the webinar, guidelines to how to develop a method for materialographic preparation of these mixed materials, are presented including Fiber enforced epoxy, microelectronics, Plasma Spray coated metal, sintered carbides with embedded diamonds and PoDFA (Porous Disc Filtration Analysis)
