The station allows to analyze the microstructure of metals and alloys, such as grain size, porosity, inclusions, cracks and other material defects.

Parameters:

• grinder-polisher for preparing micro and macroscopic specimens (two-plate)
• metallographic microscope (maximum magnification 1250x
• macroscope maximum magnification 40x
• data acquisition system with a camera
• Motic Images – image processing software

Intended use:

• material structure assessment
• evaluation of weld sections
• evaluation of defects and microcracks
• determination of chemical composition of solid metal samples using the emission spectrometry method
• determination of metal type based on chemical composition
• supply inspection tests (confirmation of material quality)
