Metallography is the study of materials in order to evaluate their
intergity, composition, hardness or other characteristics.
Preparing the sample correctly, so that the evaluation is done in
such a way as to yield accurate results, is critical. The
evaluation of the prepared sample will help determine if material
was produced properly, contains the needed properties, or in the
case of failure analysis, why the material failed. The Metmaster
Division of Lapmaster offers a complete line of Metallographic
sample preparation equipment and consumables that allow for
the proper preparation of samples, addressing all four of the
preparation steps, sectioning, mounting, grinding and polishing
