Abrasive cutting is how the sample leaves the bulk material. A resin-bonded wheel under flood coolant takes the section quickly, and the coolant is what keeps heat out of the structure you are about to examine. NextGen supplies multi-function cut-off saws for steel, alloys and hard materials, for flat, tubular and irregular workpieces.
The machines cut along two axes for larger pieces, hold the workpiece in vices sized for the job, and manage coolant flow so the wheel and the sample both stay cool. Wheels, coolant and clamping come from the same supplier, machines are installed on site, your team is trained on wheel choice and feed rate, and support continues for the life of the saw.
One partner to equip your complete metallography laboratory
Abrasive sectioning is the first step of metallographic preparation. NextGen equips the rest of the laboratory too, from mounting presses, grinders and polishers to hardness, tensile and impact testing, and stays responsible for it after delivery.
