SR-150-LD Reusable Plastic Mold for Cold Mounting Metallographic Samples, 1.5″ Diameter
The SR-150-LD mold is specifically engineered to facilitate the cold mounting process of metallographic samples using epoxy resin. This process involves embedding samples in a mounting medium at room temperature, which preserves the microstructure without thermal alteration. The mold’s 1.5-inch diameter accommodates typical sample sizes for microscopic examination and material analysis.
Constructed from durable plastic, the mold is designed for repeated use and easy demolding. Its smooth interior surface ensures clean release of the mounted sample, minimizing preparation time and material waste. This mold is ideal for laboratories requiring consistent sample mounting with epoxy for metallographic evaluation.
