Analysis of welded joints in the steel parts of a shock absorber
23 Mar 2023This application note from Verder describes a preparation method for analyzing the weld areas of different parts of a shock absorber made of steel. The note details the equipment required for cutting, mounting, grinding, polishing, and etching the samples. There are two different mounting methods, cold and hot, with different equipment and parameters, and four different polishing steps, including planar grinding, pre-polishing, polishing, and fine polishing.

NanotechnologyNanotechnology, or nanotech, is an engineering technique using molecular scale functional systems. Applications of nanotechnology include medicine and medical devices, electronics, air and water purification, food science and energy production.Electron MicroscopyElectron microscopes (EM) are used to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale by means of an accelerated beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
