Metallographic cutting or sectioning usually marks the first step of the metallographic sample preparation process. In most cases it is necessary because the part or solid body is too large for the following metallographic grinding and polishing steps carried out on a laboratory scale. Depending on part geometries and material hardness as well as employed analytical techniques, different cutting techniques and consumables are used. QATM cut-off machines for metallographic sample preparation are ideally suited for accurate, low-deformation sectioning. The product portfolio covers a wide range of cutting capacities, from small convenient benchtop models to large industrial scale cutters. With a choice of manual or automatic axes, QATM cut-off machines meet the needs of any metallographic laboratory.
