CX300 Sectioning for Weld Evaluation
For numerous applications, it is necessary to measure the quality of a weld, and there are several methods for doing so. Making a sacrificial test weld and using a microscope to measure the weld's critical areas is a popular technique. This procedure may require a lot of time and resources. However, by skipping the mounting and polishing stages, the work can be kept more efficient. Bypassing those phases in the metallographic sample preparation procedure, this "Cut and Etch" technique yields accurate readings.

Cement Clinker Preparation and Microscopic Examination
Cement Clinkers are an intermediate product in the production of Portland Cement, one of the key ingredients in the manufacturing of concrete. Microscopic examination and analysis of Clinkers is a Quality Assurance process that assesses the nature and quality of Clinker constituents. This Webinar will discuss the process of sample preparation, microscopic examination, and the assessment of Cement Clinkers.
Basic Metallographic Analysis of Welds
Dave Coulston discusses what benefits can be derived from the different weld examinations and how best to prepare welds for such analyses, as well as typical weld measurements and examples of automated hardness testing of welds.
