The Basics of Materialographic Sectioning

Content Summary

The aim of this article is to explain the principle of materialographic cutting as well as
the consumables and parameters which can influence the cutting result.
Metallographic cutting or sectioning usually marks the first step of the metallographic
sample preparation process. In most cases it is necessary because the part or solid body is
too large for the following metallographic grinding and polishing steps carried out on a
laboratory scale. Depending on part geometries and material hardness as well as employed
analytical techniques, different cutting techniques and consumables are used.
