Metallography Hand Grinder Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Metallography Hand Grinder (Product Code: SLE/MCE/20) is a manual, water-cooled roll grinder used to grind metallographic specimens flat and progressively finer in materials testing laboratories. Metallurgy students and quality-control technicians use it because its five grinding stations hold 240, 360, 600, 800 and 1200 grit silicon carbide rolls, so a sample moves through every grit on one compact unit. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Metallography Hand Grinder Used For?

Before a metal sample can be polished, etched and examined under a microscope, the saw marks and deformed layer left by sectioning have to be ground away. On this grinder the operator holds the specimen face-down and draws it along the 240 grit strip first, then works through 360, 600 and 800 grit to the 1200 grit finish. Water running over the strips carries away debris and keeps the surface cool, so the microstructure is not altered by heat.

A useful habit is to turn the specimen through a right angle at each new grit and keep going until the scratches from the previous step have gone. Rinse the sample between stations so coarse particles are not dragged onto the finer rolls. As engineering lab equipment in India goes, a roll grinder like this is a low-maintenance first stage for college metallography courses and workshop quality labs.

• Cut Off Wheel Machine — sections the sample to size before grinding.
• Single Disc Polishing Machine — takes the ground specimen on to a polished finish.
• Vickers Hardness Tester — needs a well-prepared, flat surface for clear indentations.
• Brinell Hardness Tester — hardness testing on the same prepared samples.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which grits does the Metallography Hand Grinder use?
The Metallography Hand Grinder has five grinding stations for 240, 360, 600, 800 and 1200 grit silicon carbide rolls. Specimens are normally ground from the coarse end of the unit to the fine end, finishing at 1200 grit ready for polishing.

What size abrasive rolls fit the Metallography Hand Grinder?
The Metallography Hand Grinder takes silicon carbide rolls 3-7/16 inch wide and 60 feet long on a 1 inch core. The rolls are easy to advance as they wear and simple to change when a strip is used up.

Why is the Metallography Hand Grinder water-cooled?
The Metallography Hand Grinder uses water as its cooling and rinse medium so heat from grinding does not alter the specimen's microstructure. The water also washes away abrasive and metal debris, which helps keep each grit station cutting cleanly.

What is the Metallography Hand Grinder made of?
The Metallography Hand Grinder is built from stainless steel with a cast aluminium base, and it has hard-coat anodised rollers with paper support plates. It measures 565 x 535 x 200 mm and weighs 25 kg, so it sits easily on a laboratory bench.

Who supplies the Metallography Hand Grinder?
The Metallography Hand Grinder is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, Haryana, India. The company quotes, packs and ships it for colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets.

What should a quotation request for the Metallography Hand Grinder include?
A quotation request for the Metallography Hand Grinder should state the number of units, any spare silicon carbide rolls and grits you need, and the delivery destination. Send these details through the contact page for a complete quote.
