Titanium disc embedding rings

Ti disc is also offered for embedding bulk samples of brittle material for plan-view TEM investigations. This convenient, specially designed embedding ring for cross-sectional samples can assist in cross-sectional thinning, the mechanical preparation of the sample, i.e. cutting a cross section and then embedding it into an appropriately designed ring.

Using this ring, embedding cross sections is greatly simplified, since the samples do not need to be glued together prior to embedding. In order to fix the samples in the ring it is deformed mechanically by an appropriate tool at the two points marked by the arrows. This deformation will both hold the sample in the ring and press both sample pieces together before gluing.

The rings come in a pack of 5 sizes: 0.6, 0.8 1.0, 1.2, and 1.3mm
