Metallography is a systematic discipline that requires a lot of basic knowledge of materials science as a basis, combined with the understanding of process characteristics, relying on skilled sample preparation techniques and rich analysis experience, in order to reveal the mechanism hidden behind the metallographic photos, draw accurate conclusions, and then guide the process.

According to the basic steps of sample preparation, metallographic equipment can be roughly divided into the following four categories:

Cutting equipment: Cut the original sample to obtain the most representative target analysis surface.

Inlay equipment: Place the cut sample into the mounting resin to form a standard sample for subsequent grinding and polishing.

Grinding and polishing equipment: Flatten the target analysis surface to eliminate scratches for later microscopic observation.   

Microscopic equipment: Metallographic microscope and related image processing software.

Where there is a market, there is supply. Currently, companies in the field of metallographic analysis are polarized. International giants such as Denmark's Struers are the world's professional metallographic analysis suppliers, with top-level equipment and consumables, as well as professional sample preparation methods. Of course, the high price is prohibitive. On the other hand, domestic companies are of varying quality. Many companies are engaged in vicious price competition, pursuing the ultimate low cost of products; inbreeding, low-end plagiarism; and constantly extending to low-tech hardness testers, failing to carry out down-to-earth knowledge accumulation in material analysis, and unable to provide solutions for industry needs.

For top imported suppliers, a metallographic laboratory costs around CNY 800,000 to 1 million; while for domestic manufacturers, there is no lowest price, only lower, and even a set of equipment can be purchased for around CNY 30,000. It is really confusing.

Therefore, it is too difficult to build a professional metallographic laboratory for non-professionals, and a one-stop service manufacturer is needed. In simple terms, it means giving you a sample, and you help me make the sample and draw the picture until I am satisfied, and then make a copy for me to ensure the same effect, and of course the price must be good... Is there such a good thing? Yes, Shanghai Truer is a one-stop service provider in the domestic metallographic industry.

As a professional metallographic solution provider in China, Shanghai Truer Industrial Development Co., Ltd. takes international giants as benchmarks, faces difficulties, concentrates on research, and overcomes key equipment and consumables that restrict the development of the industry, creating a complete metallographic industry chain that integrates equipment, consumables and sample preparation training; the company is equipped with a cutting-edge metallographic laboratory and has a team of highly qualified experts. For more than ten years, it has provided metallographic analysis and sample preparation training services to thousands of customers, and provided customized metallographic laboratory solutions.

The general process of Truer is as follows: sample analysis, report issuance, design plan, competitive price, on-site training.

As the saying goes: Give me a room, and I will have a fine laboratory; give me a person, and I will become a metallographic master in seconds.
