Explore Xmatic & OUR NEW INNOVATION – Automated, Standardized Workflow
When visiting our stand, you will experience how Struers Xmatic and our NEW INNOVATION provide a fully automated solution for metallographic sample preparation. The equipment eliminates operator-dependent variability and delivers fast, consistent, and high-quality results.
Automated Metallographic Sample Preparation for Aerospace Compliance
Aerospace and defense companies operate under strict ISO and ASTM standards, where reliable material analysis is essential. However, manual and operator-dependent preparation methods often introduce variability, limit repeatability, and complicate traceability.
Reduce Operator Dependency and Variability
Manual preparation processes rely heavily on operator experience, increasing the risk of inconsistent results. Automated solutions standardize workflows and ensure uniform preparation quality across all samples.
Ensure Repeatability and Process Control
With predefined and documented workflows, you gain full control over your preparation process. This ensures repeatable results and supports audit readiness.
Audit-Ready Results with Full Traceability
Standardized and documented workflows ensure full traceability and compliance with ISO and ASTM materialographic standards, supporting efficient audits and quality documentation.
Increase Throughput Without Compromising Quality
Automation reduces preparation time while maintaining consistent quality, enabling higher throughput without additional resources.

For aerospace coating labs, traceable, reproducible results are critical to approve parts. Explore how automation can allow your lab team to multitask and ensure an automated result across each and every sample.
Application Note: Metallographic preparation of aluminum and aluminum alloys
Low density, high strength, and corrosion resistance, aluminum is the material of choice for many applications in the automobile, aircraft, aerospace, packaging, and other industries. Metallography is used in quality control to determine the material’s grain size and evaluate phases, impurities, and mechanical defects.
Application Note: Metallographic preparation of stainless steel
Due to their corrosion resistance and superior surface finish, stainless steel plays a major part in the aircraft, chemical, medical, and food industries, in professional kitchens, architecture, and even jewelry. They are prone to mechanical deformation and scratching during metallographic preparation and require a specific preparation method to ensure reproducible results.
