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

The Spectrographic directors Paul and Nicci Chippendale have jetted off to Stuttgart to the annual quality assurance trade fair. They are all geared up to see current and prospective suppliers at this years event. First stop was to obviously find Manfred Tieza of NewSonic GMBH, to see the innovative Sonodur Portable Hardness Tester. As you can see Nicci is making  the most of getting sales information for this portable metallurgical product. Paul on the other hand has turned into his very own "Superhero" Mr Chip and enjoyed meeting up with the Hulk. At the office the Spectrographic Team have been looking forward to the news of the day from this industry specific exhibition of material preparation and analysis equipment.
