3.4 Struers knowledge
Mechanical preparation is the most common method of preparing materialographic specimens for
microscopic examination.
The specific requirement of the prepared surface is determined by the particular type of analysis or
examination.
Specimens can be prepared to the perfect finish, the true structure, or the preparation can be
stopped when the surface is acceptable for a specific examination.
Hint
For further information, see the section on Grinding and Polishing on the Struers
