Sample preparation is the most important part to be able to save time, money and achieve high-quality results.
It is important to get the materialographic and metallographic training, use the correct equipment and follow the optimised preparation methods, in order to observe material properties like:
- grain size
- non-metallic inclusions
- microstructures
- morphology
- colours
