Product Features & Applications

Product Feature:

  • The iMetal-500 adopts an infinite optical system, matched with plan semi-apochromatic objectives and large-field high-eyepoint eyepieces, restoring the true details of metallographic structures to meet high-precision testing requirements.
  • The optimal light intensity is automatically matched when switching objective magnifications, eliminating the need for repeated manual adjustment, reducing operational steps, avoiding human errors and greatly improving testing fluency.
  • The 4400K-4600K warm white LED light source has a color rendering index (CRI) of ≥95, accurately restoring the true color of samples, avoiding misjudgment caused by color deviation, and is suitable for metallographic grading and image analysis.
  • A rich variety of optional accessories are available, including bright-dark field illumination, polarizing observation and DIC observation.
  • The coarse and fine coaxial focusing system (1μm fine adjustment scale value) and 50×50mm large-travel stage are combined with a five-hole encoded nosepiece, realizing precise positioning, smooth operation and stable precision during long-term use.

Product Applications:

  • Used for grading the grain size and inclusions of steel, non-ferrous metals and other materials, and evaluating the effect of heat treatment processes and material properties.
  • Detecting defects such as cracks, blowholes and porosity in castings and weldments, tracing the causes of failure to ensure the quality and reliability of products.
  • Accurately observing microstructural changes after processes such as quenching and annealing, optimizing process parameters to ensure the process stability of mass production.
  • Clearly presenting the microstructures of weld fusion zones and heat-affected zones, detecting defects such as incomplete penetration and slag inclusions to meet the acceptance criteria of welding processes.
  • Observing the porosity and sintered structure of powder metallurgy parts, as well as the thickness and bonding interface of coatings and platings to control coating quality.
  • Suitable for teaching experiments in materials science for metallographic structure observation and material performance analysis.
