SPI Supplies Brand Metallography Supplies

Chinese

SPI Supplies inspects all diamond powders used for formulating into SPI Supplies Metallography products by SEM. We seek out only those fractions and batches that fall not only within our own size parameters, but which also demonstrate the blocky, sharp-edged configuration of the powder particles which we know contribute to effective cutting action and fast-polishing without scratching.

SPI Virgin Diamond Compound

SPI Diamond Compound is SEM-inspected for uniformity and particle size. For electron metallography, you could not make a better choice in your selection of diamond products. This fine polishing product is precision graded and compounded to completely disperse the diamond, boost its cutting power, and extend its usefulness. The SPI Diamond products for metallography absolutely won't contaminate your important samples by giving rise to EDS peaks that are not "real". And whatever might be present, down in the low ppm levels would never be detected by an EDS system anyhow. The SPI Diamond products for metallography are soluble in oil, water, and in all common organic extenders.

Use with

• Sizes .25µm and 1.0µm: for high precision polishing.
• Sizes 3.0µm, 6.0µm, and 9.0µm: for general, flat polishing.
• Sizes 15µm and 30µm: for intermediate finish in preparatory lapping.

SPI Virgin Diamond Slurry

This is another highly valuable product for metallography generally but especially useful for applications in electron metallography. It is recommended over the diamond paste products when there is the need for spraying diamond over an extended area. One can generally expect excellent results when hand-polishing specimens. Eight grain sizes available; all medium concentration and packaged in 100 g non-breakable plastic bottles.
