Inlaying Machine
Inlaying Machine, or a mounting press machine, is a device used to encapsulate samples for metallographic preparation.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Inlaying Machine, or a mounting press machine, is a device used to encapsulate samples for metallographic preparation.
Metallographic specimens are typically "mounted" using a hot compression thermosetting resin. In the past, phenolic thermosetting resins have been used, but modern epoxy is becoming more popular because reduced shrinkage during curing results in a better mount with superior edge retention. A typical mounting cycle will compress the specimen and mounting media to 4,000 psi (28 MPa) and heat to a temperature of 350 °F (177 °C). When specimens are very sensitive to temperature, "cold mounts" may be made with a two-part epoxy resin. Mounting a specimen provides a safe, standardized, and ergonomic way by which to hold a sample during the grinding and polishing operations.
