Specimen mounting methods for metallography

>The development of metallographic mounting methods is reviewed and several of the more common methods being used are discussed. Characteristic advantages and disadvantages are pointed out. Retention of sample edges for examination is essential in many investigations, and a separate section is devoted to the many techniques devised to achieve this goal. It is noted that there is a mounting technique available for virtually any type of specimen. (14 figures, 6 tables, 57 references) (JRD
