Metallographic inlay is the process of embedding specimens with vastly different shapes and sizes into standardized samples of uniform shape and size, in order to achieve clamping using standard fixtures and meet subsequent preparation steps. At the same time, it can also protect the edges of the sample or prevent surface defects caused by the preparation process. To achieve these two goals, it is necessary to embed the sample. The commonly used hot pressing metallographic inlay machine should be like this.

The fully automatic single cylinder hot pressing metallographic inlay machine is almost standard in metal laboratories. Of course, if the sample preparation volume is large and one inlay machine cannot meet the demand, the dual cylinder model is also a good choice. The efficiency is twice that of a single cylinder, but the price is far lower than the price of two single cylinder models, and the maintenance and operation costs are relatively economical.

For example, the two METPRESS series fully automatic hot press inlay machines imported from the United States, as shown in the above picture, can simultaneously embed two samples, and can be heated to 200 ℃ and pressurized to 350 bar. The sample preparation speed is fast and programmable, making it very suitable for continuous and repeated preparation of standard sample blocks.


The dual cylinder fully automatic hot pressing inlay machine can simultaneously embed 4 samples, can be heated to 200 ℃, and can be pressurized to 350 bar. The sample preparation speed is fast, programmable, and more suitable for continuous and repeated preparation of batch standard sample blocks. It truly saves sample preparation time and improves work efficiency.


They are all designed with a sliding cover, which is safer and more labor-saving. The temperature control range is wide, reaching up to 200 ℃ at high temperatures. The pressure range is wide, and can be pressurized to 5000psi (345bar) at high temperatures. The cooling speed is fast, and there is no need for air supply. Touch screen control is available, and the entire process can be monitored to avoid embedded defects. It is a hot pressing metallographic inlay machine with a very good reputation in the metal laboratory.


The above is the relevant introduction about the hot pressing inlay machine. If you need a detailed understanding or want to experience it in person, please consult the engineer of Kemai Testing. We will wholeheartedly provide you with professional solution suggestions.
