Materialography
The term materialography used today is a factual extension of metallography, which include many other groups of materials, such as ceramics, plastics and composite materials that are examined in the same way. Materialography is the science of examining a material's microstructure, which is its internal composition at a microscopic level. By polishing and analyzing a material's surface, materialography helps engineers understand properties like strength, corrosion resistance, and potential failure points.

All the ins and outs: KGS range of materialography discs
We have 4 diamond discs in our materialography program. Flexis® and Telum® are metal bond. Promet and Prolap are resin bond. For more info press on the desired disc.
KGS continues to develop
KGS is currently continuing testing on several materials. More materials will be added over time. If you miss any preparation method of a specific material or have another question you get a reply on working days within 24 hours. materialography@kgs.swiss
THE HARDNESS OF THE MATERIAL
We tested our KGS products on different hardnesses. Please select your preferred hardness and see exactly how you get the best result!
PARAMETERS AND MACHINE SETTINGS
After extensive testing, we arrived at the correct settings to achieve the desired result. Proper parameters can be found at each step in the process. Those parameters can be found in the preparation method from the materials list above.
SEQUENCE OF STEPS
The best result is found when you select the right hardness and follow the steps. Use KGS quality discs for the maximum effectiviness and result.
