1. Quick and effective methods

    The electrolyte preparation method is a fast and efficient metallographic preparation method that can provide a deformation free surface, while mechanical grinding and polishing are prone to leaving a thin deformation layer on the surface.

    When using electrolyte polishing equipment, the sample will be configured as the anode in the corresponding electrolyte and the material will be removed during a controlled dissolution process on the sample surface. After electrolyte polishing, a comparison can be provided on the microstructure of the sample through the electrolyte etching process.

    2. How to prepare electrolyte

    To perform electrolytic preparation, the correct method must be selected.

    3. Correct application steps

    After placing the sample on the polishing table, a pre-defined voltage range is scanned to determine the current density curve. This curve is used to define the correct polishing voltage to be used in polishing or thinning processes. Other parameters that need to be determined include polishing time and flow rate. After determining the correct application settings, these settings can be stored in the database and reused in subsequent polishing tasks.

    Safety is crucial, and it is essential to pay attention to safety when handling electrolytes. All users must be familiar with the relevant safety procedures.

    4. Select electrolyte

    Multiple materials can be polished/etched using more than one electrolyte.

    The correct selection depends on the composition of the material.
