Active Oxide Polishing Suspensions - Vivid Technologies

Improve Your Polishing ResultsBoost polishing efficiency and ensure deformation-free results with Struers’ complete line of activeoxide polishing suspensions developed to meet your unique requirements for a perfect surfacefinish – fast.Duplex stainless steel, etched electrolytically using 40% aqueoussodium hydroxide solution. Differential Interference Contrast, 100x.Final polishingA perfect surface finish is a requirementin most materialographic specimenpreparations. The requirements to purity,cleanliness, equal distribution of alloyingelements and phases are increasinglyimportant in today’s world of high-techproducts and complex materials.A perfect surface cannot be achieved bymechanical abrasion alone, as some levelof deformation will always be created.Sole chemical material removal producesrelief between various phases.Perfect surface finishStruers' oxide polishing suspensionscombine chemical activity with fine,gentle abrasion to produce an absolutelyscratch-free and deformation-free surface.The abrasives and chemical reagents havebeen carefully selected to produce thenecessary surface quality for specimenexamination.Fast and economicalThe active oxide suspensions reactchemically with the surface of thespecimen, building a reaction layerwhich is relatively brittle. The brittlelayer is removed by the very smallabrasive particles in the suspension. Thismechanism is repeated continuously,resulting in a very high removal rate.2
