Abstract
Abrasive cutting is the most widely used method of sectioning materials for microscopic examination and other material investigations. Conventional abrasive cutting using consumable wheels is the most popular method for routine metallographic sectioning because it is fast, accurate and economical. The quality of the cut surface obtained is usually superior to that obtained by other means and fewer subsequent steps may be required. Metal core diamond blades fulfill the demanding requirements of specialized applications such as ceramics, rocks, very hard metallics and printed circuit boards.
