NEW: METALLOGRAPHIC LABORATORY RENOVATION
In 2017, we have successfully
completed the investment project dedicated to our metallographic laboratory. The investment in the metallographic laboratory included a
new abrasive table saw, Buehler automatic grinding and polishing machine for
metallographic specimen preparation and the Olympus BX53M luminosity microscope
with corresponding software. Aljaž Zagajšek, a metalworker at Blaj Fasteners,
is satisfied with the upgraded metallographic laboratory: “The investment
enables us to use all the metallographic techniques and methods for inspecting
the material.” This investment allows us to perform detailed investigations
of:
material microstructures;
the content of non-metallic
inclusions and grain size;
fractographic properties;
flow lines;
surface protections and
various effects of the
atmosphere and temperature in heat treatment and forging.
