Presented by sadbhav metallurgical services the portable electrolytic polisher/ etcher, model insipol - 2000 is for in-situ metallography, which has become a vital ndt tool for industrial inspection systems. It has these outstanding features: portable, can be used in laboratory as well as in the field; designed for rugged use in the industrial atmosphere; no spillage of chemicals and thus maximum yield of electrolyte; microstructure is arranged in single stage operation; automatic change mode from polishing to etching; the process is skill free, and single man can handle the operation, as anode connection is inbuilt in pen type of probe; the operation is quick reliable and produces true microstructure on a variety of metals and alloys; variable pump speed to overcome pitting problems commonly observed in electrolytic polishing; to conduct astm a -262 practice "a" by ndt, to certify the quality of material; and useful for easy quality checks for mass production. Basic specifications: supply voltage - 230 v ac; power consumptions when polishing - 280 w; dimensions - 430 [l] x 330 [h] x 235 [w] mm; weight [empty] - 11 kg; pump speed control - electronic; polishing voltage - 0-60 v; polishing current - 0-3 a; polishing timer - 0-90 sec; etching voltage - 0-18 v; and etching timer - 0-90 sec.
