Abstract
AbstractThe preparation of cross-sectional specimens for materials such as tungsten carbide containing ceramic coatings presents some unique problems. Pieces joined by the use of epoxies often separate at this interface during subsequent preparation steps as a result of the vibration and physical strain placed on the sample during the initial mechanical grinding and subsequent thinning process. These problems have been overcome through the use of a preparation process which essentially encapsulates the sample within the confines of an epoxy filled quartz tube. This preparation process has allowed for the cross-sectional analysis of Al2O3/TiC coatings on WC substrates and has revealed two distinct grain morphologies within the TiC coating.
