When is cold inlay used? And listen to Ke Mai's editor explain:

     From the previous article; Under what circumstances is hot pressing inlay used& Rdquo; We can easily infer that if the material observed by metallography is sensitive to heat and pressure, or if the material is not sensitive to heat and pressure but does not have a hot pressing inlay machine, the remaining solution is cold inlay technology.

     In addition to the decisive factor mentioned above, the reason why some materials still choose cold inlay is because cold inlay technology also has its own unique features:

    &Bull; The number of samples can be almost unlimited, and N samples can be embedded at once

    &Bull; Limited by objective conditions& Flash; Space area, temperature, operation training, etc. required for sample preparation

    &Bull; For samples with pores and cracks, the EpoFlow epoxy resin and curing agent from QMAXIS can be selected to penetrate into the pores and cracks, supporting the structure of the sample and preventing deformation and damage during the next polishing process

    &Bull; Some samples require a clear display of the interface between the embedded resin and the sample, or require obvious areas with pores and cracks, so the dye has appeared& Flash; Any type of epoxy or acrylic resin can be added with a dye to meet this experimental requirement

    &Bull; There is no need to purchase equipment to complete the inlay, and initial investment is almost negligible
