Summary:
A new multilayer abrasive grinding disk has been developed to overcome the grinding and polishing problems associated with metallographic specimen preparation. These problems are discussed in detail. The discussion focuses on the contributing factors of poor specimen preparation, how they affect the surface, and how they are alleviated. The difficulties of surface deformation, edge rounding, soft-phase undercutting, pullout, and chipping of brittle specimens are reviewed together with their root causes. This foundation was used to design a superior grinding system employing the benefits of diamond.
