Technical Papers on the Eighteen Metallographic Group Meeting

Abstract

The polishing and etching procedures for preparing metallic, ceramic and cermet specimens of nuclear materials using the Automet polisher are discussed with some typical examples of the excellent results obtained. The attack-polishing method reported by Ambler and Slattery was successfully adapted to automatic polishing allowing more pressure to be applied to the specimen. This modification has eliminated the difficulties normally encountered in the preparation of specimens containing materials of extreme variations in hardness. The advantages of this technique are discussed.
