Grinding and Polishing
Consumables and Accessories
The goal of the grinding and polishing steps is to prepare a final polished specimen that is free of deformation and suitable for analysis. This can be achieved in multiple ways depending on the overall goals of the lab. Whether a lab is looking for the quickest overall process, the best surface finish or versatility to prepare many different materials, Buehler has a solution for the grinding and polishing process.
