The Best Polishing Agent

The best polishing agent for materialography

In order to achieve the best possible results, every work step of the materialographic preparation process requires high quality machines, materials and auxiliary means. The same is true for the polishing process which completes the preparation process. Depending on the sample material and the desired preparation result, the best polishing agent has to be determined. In order to find the best polishing agent for the respective sample, its characteristics have to be taken into account. Hard, tough materials respond differently when being polished with loose abrasive grain than soft materials. The best polishing agent is the one that allows to precisely predict its removal rate and the one that can be matched to the respective material. In addition to that, a broad range of grit sizes is required to permit a precisely dosed removal. Once the best polishing agent for the material is found, it is important to carefully coordinate the individual polishing steps. In this context, the best polishing agent for pre-polishing and final polishing needs to be found while auxiliary means such as extenders may be specifically employed, if required.

How to quickly and easily find the best polishing agent with SCAN-DIA

An economical completion of the materialographic preparation process can be ensured when the best polishing agent can be quickly found in a targeted manner. Given the diverse nature of the samples, the best polishing agent can only be determined based on the individual preparation process. Given the wide variety of SCAN-DIA Polishing Agents, the best polishing agent is quickly and easily found. Diamond has established itself as the best polishing agent for loose abrasive polishing. Compared to other polishing agents such as alumina, it stands out for its hardness and very reliably predictable removal rates. In principle, the best polishing agent is the one that allows best possible sample preparation results for the final evaluation of the microstructure. SCAN-DIA provides a complete range of polishing agents for pre-polishing as well as for final polishing. Based on its experience, the company SCAN-DIA provides comprehensive advice in order for you to choose the best polishing agent adapted to a particular sample situation.
