Sectioning EMPOWERING RESULTS Sectioning The goal of sectioning is to cut a representative sample from a part without causing microstructural damage. In short, a clean, straight, and cool cut. To accomplish this, metallographic sectioning is done in a water-cooled abrasive cut-off machine with a material-appropriate blade. Abrasive Sectioning Blades Abrasive sectioning blades are the most commonly used blades in metallurgical laboratories. Both aluminum oxide and silicon carbide provide excellent cuts at a low cost. Abrasive Types Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) abrasive blades are very versatile...

Sectioning EMPOWERING RESULTS LECO Cut-Off Blade Guide Selecting a blade size for LECO Sectioning Machines depends on the maximum size blade diameter the saw can use, combined with the diameter of the arbor hole in the center of the blade. Maximum Size Arbor Hole
