As for the configuration of conventional metallographic equipment in the quality control laboratory of metal processing enterprises, I have previously introduced the metallographic sample cutting equipment. I will not repeat it here. Today, I will mainly introduce the hot pressing metallographic mosaic machine commonly used in the metal laboratory.


Metallographic inlay is to inlay samples with different shapes and sizes into standard samples with uniform shapes and sizes, so as to realize the clamping of standard fixtures to meet the subsequent preparation steps. At the same time, it can also protect the edge of the sample or prevent the surface defects caused by the preparation process. In order to achieve these two purposes, it is necessary to embed the sample. The commonly used hot press metallographic mosaic machine should be like this.

Hot press metallographic mosaic machine


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

For example, the two metpress series full-automatic hot press inlaying machines imported from the United States can inlay two samples at the same time in a single cylinder, and the whole process only takes 8min. They are programmable and have good batch inlaying repeatability. The sliding cover design is more safe and labor-saving. The temperature control range is wide, up to 200 ℃, the pressure range is wide, and the maximum pressure is 5000PSI (345bar). The cooling speed is fast. It is electro-hydraulic, without air source. It is controlled by touch screen, and can be monitored in the whole process to avoid mosaic defects. It is a hot press metallographic mosaic machine with good reputation in the metal laboratory. Therefore, Xiaobian thinks that the hot pressing metallographic inlay machine commonly used in metal materials laboratory should be like this or similar, and the specific configuration depends on many factors such as the technical demand and economic budget for sample preparation, which is for reference only.


As for how to configure the relevant equipment in the metal laboratory, the next issue will introduce the metallographic polishing machine to you. Please look forward to it. If you need more information, you are welcome to consult with pulse detection engineers to provide you with professional suggestions.
