Photomicrograph of a Thermal Spray, Nickel-Graphite coating, 200X BF.Using the Cast N’ Vac, large voids (porosity) are filled with epoxy duringvacuum impregnation. This process assists in maintaining the fragile,as-deposited coating integrity during grinding and polishing.Photomicrograph of the same Thermal Spray, Nickel-Graphite coatingwithout vacuum impregnation. These porous materials are prone tohaving constituents “pulled-out” during routine specimen preparation,potentially causing erroneous porosity analysis.The BUEHLER ® Cast N’ Vac Castable Vacuum System is a self-contained vacuum impregnation system for use with castableepoxy resins. The Cast N’ Vac removes trapped air from mounting material. Without the presence of air, the mounting compoundfills the sample pores and eliminates the gaps between the sample and the compound. Edge retention is enhanced and brittlesamples are supported during the grinding/polishing process. The system comes complete with a small quantity of mixingsupplies, sample holding cups, and epoxy supply tubes.Specifications20-3510-160 Cast N’ Vac Castable Vacuum System completewith built-in vacuum pump rated to -10 p.s.i (-.7 bar), vacuumgauge, vacuum chamber for single sample impregnation,recessed cup holder, silicone stopper, epoxy supply tubes (5),hose clamp (1), removable recessed disc (1) 1¼″, phenolic RingForms (5) 1¼″, paper measuring cups (5), wooden stir sticks(5), and operations manual.
