16、o-graphic preparation procedure.4. Significance and Use4.1 Microstructures have a strong influence on the proper-ties and successful application of metals and alloys. Determi-nation and control of microstructure requires the use ofmetallographic examination.4.2 Many specifications contain a requirem

17、ent regardingmicrostructure; hence, a major use for metallographic exami-nation is inspection to ensure that the requirement is met. Othermajor uses for metallographic examination are in failureanalysis, and in research and development.4.3 Proper choice of specimen location and orientation willminim

18、ize the number of specimens required and simplify theirinterpretation. It is easy to take too few specimens for study,but it is seldom that too many are studied.5. Selection of Metallographic Specimens5.1 The selection of test specimens for metallographicexamination is extremely important because, i

19、f their interpre-tation is to be of value, the specimens must be representative ofthe material that is being studied. The intent or purpose of themetallographic examination will usually dictate the location ofthe specimens to be studied. With respect to purpose of study,metallographic examination ma

20、y be divided into three classi-fications:5.1.1 General Studies or Routine WorkSpecimens shouldbe chosen from locations most likely to reveal the maximumvariations within the material under study. For example,specimens could be taken from a casting in the zones whereinmaximum segregation might be exp

21、ected to occur as well asspecimens from sections where segregation could be at aminimum. In the examination of strip or wire, test specimenscould be taken from each end of the coils.5.1.2 Study of FailuresTest specimens should be taken asclosely as possible to the fracture or to the initiation of th

22、efailure. Before taking the metallographic specimens, study ofthe fracture surface should be complete, or, at the very least,the fracture surface should be documented. In many cases,specimens should be taken from a sound area for a comparisonof structures and properties.5.1.3 Research StudiesThe nat

23、ure of the study will dictatespecimen location, orientation, etc. Sampling will usually bemore extensive than in routine examinations.5.2 Having established the location of the metallographicsamples to be studied, the type of section to be examined mustbe decided.5.2.1 For a casting, a section cut p

24、erpendicular to thesurface will show the variations in structure from the outside tothe interior of the casting.5.2.2 In hot-worked or cold-worked metals, both transverseand longitudinal sections should be studied. Special investiga-tions may require specimens with surfaces prepared parallel tothe o

25、riginal surface of the product.5.2.3 In the case of wire and small rounds, a longitudinalsection through the center of the specimen proves advanta-geous when studied in conjunction with the transverse section.5.3 Transverse sections or cross sections taken perpendicu-lar to the main axis of the mate

26、rial are often used for revealingthe following information:5.3.1 Variations in structure from center to surface,5.3.2 Distribution of nonmetallic impurities across the sec-tion,5.3.3 Decarburization at the surface of a ferrous material(see Test Method E1077),5.3.4 Depth of surface imperfections,5.3.

27、5 Depth of corrosion,5.3.6 Thickness of protective coatings, and5.3.7 Structure of protective coating. See Guide E1920.5.4 Longitudinal sections taken parallel to the main axis ofthe material are often used for revealing the following infor-mation:5.4.1 Inclusion content of steel (see Practices E45,

28、 E768,E1122, and E1245),5.4.2 Degree of plastic deformation, as shown by graindistortion,5.4.3 Presence or absence of banding in the structure (seePractice E1268), and5.4.4 The microstructure attained with any heat treatment.5.5 The locations of surfaces examined should always begiven in reporting r

29、esults and in any illustrative micrographs.Asuitable method of indicating surface locations is shown in Fig.1.6.

31、square, or approximately 12 to 25 mm indiameter if the material is cylindrical. The height of thespecimen should be no greater than necessary for convenienthandling during polishing.6.1.1 Larger specimens are generally more difficult to pre-pare.6.1.2 Specimens that are, fragile, oddly shaped or too

32、 smallto be handled readily during polishing should be mounted toensure a surface satisfactory for microscopical study. Thereare, based on technique used, three fundamental methods ofmounting specimens (see Section 9).7. Cutting of Metallographic Specimens7.1 In cutting the metallographic specimen f

33、rom the mainbody of the material, care must be exercised to minimizealtering the structure of the metal. Three common types ofsectioning are as follows:7.1.1 Sawing, whether by hand or machine with lubrication,is easy, fast, and relatively cool. It can be used on all materialswith hardnesses below a

34、pproximately 350 HV. It does producea rough surface containing extensive plastic flow that must beremoved in subsequent preparation.7.1.2 An abrasive cut-off blade will produce a smoothsurface often ready for fine grinding. This method of sectioningis normally faster than sawing. The choice of cut-o

35、ff blade,lubricant, cooling conditions, and the grade and hardness ofmetal being cut will influence the quality of the cut. A poorchoice of cutting conditions can easily damage the specimen,producing an alteration of the microstructure. Generally, softmaterials are cut with a hard bond blade and har

36、d materialswith a soft bond blade. Aluminum oxide abrasive blades arepreferred for ferrous metals and silicon carbide blades arepreferred for nonferrous alloys. Abrasive cut-off blades areessential for sectioning metals with hardness above about 350HV. Extremely hard metallic materials and ceramics

37、may bemore effectively cut using diamond-impregnated cuttingblades. Manufacturers instructions should be followed as tothe choice of blade. Table 1 lists the suggested cutoff blades formaterials with various Vickers (HV) hardness values.7.1.3 A shear is a type of cutting tool with which a materialin

38、 the form of wire, sheet, plate or rod is cut between twoopposing blades.7.2 Other methods of sectioning are permitted provided theydo not alter the microstructure at the plane of polishing. Allcutting operations produce some depth of damage, which willhave to be removed in subsequent preparation st

39、eps.8. Cleanliness8.1 Cleanliness (see Appendix X1) during specimen prepa-ration is essential. All greases, oils, coolants and residue fromcutoff blades on the specimen should be removed by somesuitable organic solvent. Failure to clean thoroughly canprevent cold mounting resins from adhering to the

40、 specimensurface. Ultrasonic cleaning may be effective in removing thelast traces of residues on a specimen surface.8.2 Any coating metal that will interfere with the subse-quent etching of the base metal should be removed beforepolishing, if possible. If etching is required, when studying theunderl

41、ying steel in a galvanized specimen, the zinc coatingshould be removed before mounting to prevent galvanic effectsduring etching. The coating can be removed by dissolving incold nitric acid (HNO3, sp gr 1.42), in dilute sulfuric acid(H2SO4) or in dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl). The HNO3method requir

42、es care to prevent overheating, since largesamples will generate considerable heat. By placing the clean-ing container in cold water during the stripping of the zinc,attack on the underlying steel will be minimized. Moreinformation may be found in Test Method A90/A90M.NOTE 2Picral etchant produces l

43、ittle or no galvanic etching effectswhen used on galvanized steel.NOTE 3The addition of an inhibitor during the stripping of Zn fromgalvanized coatings will minimize the attack of the steel substrate. NEP(polethylinepolyamine) or SbCl3are two useful inhibitors.8.3 Oxidized or corroded surfaces may b

44、e cleaned asdescribed in Appendix X1.9. Mounting of Specimens9.1 There are many instances where it will be advantageousto mount the specimen prior to grinding and polishing. Mount-ing of the specimen is usually performed on small, fragile, oroddly shaped specimens, fractures, or in instances where t

45、hespecimen edges are to be examined.9.2 Specimens may be either mechanically mounted,mounted in plastic, or a combination of the two.9.3 Mechanical Mounting:9.3.1 Strip and sheet specimens may be mounted by bindingor clamping several specimens into a pack held together by twoend pieces and two bolts

46、.9.3.2 The specimens should be tightly bound together toprevent absorption and subsequent exudation of polishingmaterials or etchants.9.3.3 The use of filler sheets of a softer material alternatedwith the specimen may be used in order to minimize theseepage of polishing materials and etchants. Use o

47、f fillermaterial is especially advantageous if the specimens have ahigh degree of surface irregularities.9.3.4 Filler material must be chosen so as not to reactelectrolytically with the specimen during etching. Thin piecesof plastic, lead, or copper are typical materials that are used.Copper is espe

48、cially good for steel specimens since the usualetchants for steels will not attack the copper.TABLE 1 Cutoff Blade SelectionHardness HV Materials Abrasive Bond Bond Hardnessup to 300 non-ferrous (Al, Cu) SiC P or R hardup to 400 non-ferrous (Ti) SiC P or R med. hardup to 400 soft ferrous Al2O3P or R
