Material Matters

Spectrographic's Managing Director, Paul Chippendale, enjoys a good read.  His favourite Metallurgy publication is the book by Brain Bousfield, Surface Preparation and Microscopy of Materials. This metallurgical book really is the bible for all metallurgists, and gives a great insight into the field of materials surface preparation, according to Paul. It gives an in-depth insight into the preparation of metals, spray coatings, composites, minerals, PCB's and electronic circuits, thin film measurement, soft materials and ceramics.  The book also enlightens the reader into hardness testing and applied microscopy. Paul has been inspired by this book to write his own guidance notes for sample preparation, available from the website. The Spectrographic Team are here to help identify your preparation needs, and the book is available on Amazon. Email:  sales@spectrographic.co.uk Tel: 01274 966173 Website:  www.spectrographic.co.uk

There are many definitions of Stand by, this is the one we like "d enoting an economic or financial measure prepared for implementation in specified circumstances." Why? I hear you ask. Service can be expensive especially when travelling costs are involved.  At Spectrographic we would like to give our service customers a helping hand. This is the plan if you are not in a hurry and can wait until we have other service calls in the area we can significantly cut the costs of the service by 40% or more. The Spectrographic service is available on metallurgical cutters, polishers and mounting press. Each service will involve a deep clean, change of specific PPM parts and electrical testing, a full report of any issues relating to the machine.  Now for the small print if non planned preventative maintenance parts are required we will send of formal quotation to repair the machine in question.
