This device which is made by Behtavan Co. is located in Metallurgical Laboratory and is used to mount the cut sample into polymeric material.

Due to having small metallographic samples and their maintenance problems during sanding and polishing by hand, the samples must be mounted, so that by placing the sample inside the polymeric membrane, sanding and polishing samples becomes easier.

The following description shows how the device works:

First,We put the sample and the polymeric material between two disks inside a metallic cylinder and put them under heat and needed pressure, the sample is placed inside the polymeric membrane.

Then, we press the jack button and after  coming up the disc, we put the part on which we want to do metallography on the lower disk.

Next, By repressing the Jack button, the sample goes down with the disk. We put polymeric materials on the sample and then put the upper disk on it.

After that, we close the cap. We set the temperature to 200 degrees Celsius, under the heat of atound 25 minutes and the cooling time of about 8 minutes.

Then, by pressing the start button the mount cycle starts.

After the end of the cycle we open the cylinder cap. we push the jack button to bring up the sample with the disc.

Finally, we take out the sample by removing the upper disc.

If it's neccessary, we push the water button  to cool the device by water.
