Abstract

The manual preparation of metallographic specimens is a process widely used in industry and research to examine the microstructure of metal samples. Unfortunately, this procedure requires skill and practice to produce specimens that clearly display all of the microstructure. This design project developed a device that will remove as much error as possible from the grinding and polishing steps of metaloographic preparation.
