INTRODUCTION
Study of the micro and
macrostructures of metals

(Neurtek, nd)
PURPOSE
Achieve a flat surface, without
scratches and similar to a mirror (), in
order to determine via microscope,
the composition of the metal in
study.
Also to determine the alloy Al-Cu on
a coin of 100 Colombian pesos.
100 COP COIN

The principal characteristic of the coin is that it contains 92%

of copper, 6% of aluminum and 2% of nickel
