The proper metallographic preparation of a sample often has five or six steps. The first step is sectioning. A thorough analysis does not require the entire part, but rather, just a representative sample. Sectioning the component in question brings a potentially bulky part down to a workable cross section exposing the area to be analyzed. A deformation-free and fast cut of your sample is critical for any efficient and repeatable metallographic analysis. LECO offers sectioning products to match your sample size, material, and geometry for a clean and precise cut.
