To prepare a metallographic specimen for analysis, an abrasive is used in combination with a polishing cloth to remove surface deformations and reveal the material's structure.

It is essential to select high-quality polishing cloths since polishing is a crucial step in the preparation process. OnPoint offers metallographic polishing cloths that have undergone rigorous testing and are designed to be used with Diabrasive Diamond and Alumabrasive Alumina to provide dependable results for each processed sample.

The choice of polishing cloth depends on the material being prepared, and the analysis being performed. OnPoint offers a range of fabrics, weaves, and naps to suit every materials and application.

Polishing cloths are available in 8in (203mm), 10in (254mm), and 12in (305mm diameter discs. Backing options include, PSA (adhesive), Magnetic Rubber, and Magnetic Steel. The magnetic backing is a practical and efficient solution, that produces consistent polishing results while minimizing cloth changeover time.
