Metallographic Cutting (continued)<br />
Cutting with abrasive cut-off wheels<br />
Abrasive cut-off wheels come in two bonding<br />
materials: resin bond and rubber bond. Resinbonded<br />
abrasive wheels are used with most<br />
materials. The hardness of the bonding agent<br />
depends on the material being cut. The rubberbonded<br />
wheels are characterised by a particularly<br />
thin cut and no-burn sectioning.<br />
The sample must be firmly and evenly clamped, in<br />
order to prevent breaking the wheel and damage to<br />
the sample. The cutting force should be applied with<br />
care and in relation to the material. The table on the<br />
next page highlights the main problems that can<br />
occur during the cutting process, and the actions<br />
required to remedy these.<br />
Diamond and Boron Nitride (CBN)<br />
Cut-Off blades<br />
As the development and use of modern engineering<br />
materials increases, so does the demands placed on<br />
the technology required to prepare these materials<br />
for analysis. Diamond and CBN (boron nitride)<br />
abrasive wheels are able to section through hard<br />
metals, composite materials, plastics, glass and<br />
mineral fibres, ceramic(s), glass or bone without any<br />
problem. Whether a diamond or a boron nitride disc<br />
is to be used, depends essentially on the hardness or<br />
brittleness of the sample material.<br />
Following is a general guideline:<br />
Metal bonded diamond discs:<br />
Aggressive sectioning of metals, general sectioning<br />
of composites materials with hard phases, PCB’s,<br />
ceramic coatings, glass and electronic packages<br />
Resin bonded diamond discs:<br />
Hard metals, tungsten carbide, gentle cutting of<br />
hard brittle materials (ceramic(s), glass etc.)<br />
CBN discs:<br />
Hard ductile materials (highly alloyed steel, cobalt<br />
and nickel based alloys, lead alloys)
