The metallographic cutting machine is an indispensable equipment in the laboratory. It is also a common sampling method in laboratories, research institutes, universities, production lines, and quality workshops. However, the metallographic cutting discs needed for cutting and sampling are also particularly important. They are consumables. The cutting discs will be consumed continuously during use, so practitioners need to understand the metallographic cutting wheels so that they can get twice the result with half the effort.
The following are the common distinctions between several types of metallographic cutting wheels, which can be used as a reference:
Classification | Scope of application |
Diamond cutting wheel | For cutting high hardness materials |
Abrasive cutting wheel | For cutting metal materials |
Metal cutting wheel | For cutting wood, stone and cement |
Vibrating cutting wheel | For cutting cloth, carpet, leather and film |
The above is the usage practice of metallographic cutting wheels, and there are basically no other rigid requirements. Of course, you need to pay attention to whether the installation is matched, and the specific model should be analyzed specifically.
