Buehler, a leading manufacturer of equipment and consumables for material analysis is offering "Fundamentals of Etching” an educational webinar presentation in English on February 24, 2021, at 12:00pm CST. Buehler will follow this program with a series of one-hour webinars on etch selection and microstructural identification for a different material group. The materials will include carbon and low alloy steels, titanium alloys, copper alloys, superalloys, light metals, and more. Etching removes the thin, highly deformed layer introduced during grinding and polishing of the material sample preparation process.
The first webinar will provide the foundation for understanding etching processes in metallography, and is recommended viewing to fully appreciate the subsequent webinars in this series. The upcoming topics are listed in the Buehler webinar registration page.
George Vander Voort, renowned physical metallurgist will present this webinar the first in the Buehler Etching Series. Vander Voort is an exclusive consultant to Buehler and had served as Buehler’s Director of Research and Technology for over a decade. He has over 50 years of experience is a worldwide leading expert in microstructural analysis, interpretation and measurement.
The “Fundamentals of Etching” webinar will cover the core principles of etching for microstructural analysis in metallography including:
