4. Preparation of Specimens

Plane Grinding (PG) may be carried out on PG-paper, SiC paper or,
for hard materials, on Diamond Pad.
SiC paper is used on a wet grinding disc, according to the Knuth-
Rotor principle. PG-paper or Diamond Pad is glued to a
grinding/polishing disc.
Fine Grinding (FG) is carried out on a cloth with low resilience such
as DP-Plan, DP-Pan or DP-Dur, or on Petrodisc-M. SiC-Paper may
also be used.
Diamond Polishing (DP) is carried out on a polishing cloth using
diamond abrasive and a lubricant. The correct choice of cloth
depends on the material.
Oxide Polishing (OP) is especially suited for soft and ductile material
as a final polishing step.
