Metallurgy, a known word to many, but are we really aware of the actual meaning of the term? To go into its description, metallurgy deals with materials science as well as engineering. It is the basic study of the physical as well as chemical behavior of elements that are metallic, the intermetallic compounds, and the alloys. It is also considered to be the technology of metals. It can be said that it is the way with the help of which science is applied, so that the production of metal can occur, and the engineering of metal components that can be used in various products which are used for manufacturers as well as consumers.

There are some Metallurgical Sample Preparation Equipment which exist. Some of them are as follows:

• When it is about the sample preparation, the first thing to start with is cutting and good cutting. If you choose the right type of cut-off wheel, then you will be assured of freedom from any kind of distortion and even burn. This is also used so as to save consumables as well as time.
• The next is the precision cutting, which is used for cutting of Biomaterials, Ceramics, Components, Minerals, Metals, Composites, Electronic Crystals, Sintered Carbides, and many more, which is free of any deformation.
• One of metallurgical sample preparation equipment is MICRACUT Precision Cutter. This is used in any biomedical, geological, research, industrial, electronics, metallurgical laboratory. The applications come with it are numerous.
• Once the specimen is cut off, the next step that comes in the list is mounting. The precise motto of introducing this equipment is to deal with small and even odd shaped specimens and also to shield the fragile materials, coating at the time of preparation, thin layers. This also comes up with good edge retention. With mounting, comes up with specimens which have the size that is uniform. It helps in making it simpler to deal with automatic holders that can be used for more preparation steps. There are two types of mounting, hot mounting and cold mounting.
• The next one is grinding and polishing sample preparation. This is used so as to get an effective reflective surface, which does not contain any kind of scratches as well as deformation. However, something that should be taken into consideration is that the specimens should be grinded carefully and also be polished before examining them with the help of microscopes.

These are just some of the metallurgical sample preparation equipment which are highly useful.
