Abstract
This study demonstrates the appearance of ground surfaces of ferrous and non-ferrous metal alloys when the defective layer from sectioning is incompletely removed. The defects resulting from insufficient grinding and polishing at various stages of sample preparation, as well as the impact of “edge rounding” on the accuracy of metallographic analysis, are discussed.
