What are the advantages of using a metallographic cold mounting machine in conjunction with a vacuum embedding machine?

The combined use of a metallographic cold mounting machine and a vacuum embedding machine can significantly improve mounting quality and efficiency, offering advantages in many aspects.
The vacuum environment can effectively remove bubbles from the mounting material, preventing them from affecting the microscopic observation of the sample; especially for samples with micropores or cracks, vacuum conditions allow the material to infiltrate these fine structures more fully, increasing the density of the mounting.
Under vacuum conditions, the mounting material has better fluidity and can encapsulate the sample more evenly, ensuring a tight bond between the sample and the material, reducing edge gaps, and providing a good foundation for subsequent treatments such as grinding and polishing.
For some samples that are easy to float or whose positions are not easily fixed, the stable environment inside the vacuum embedding machine can prevent the sample from shifting before the material cures, ensuring the accuracy of the sample position.
In addition, combined use can also shorten the curing time of the mounting material, because the vacuum environment can accelerate the discharge of volatile components in the material and promote the curing reaction.
