32、neral title Hardmetals Metallographic determination of microstructure: Part 1: Photomicrographs and description Part 2: Measurement of WC grain size Part 3: Measurement of microstructural features in Ti (C,N) and WC/cubic carbide based hardmetals Part 4: Characterisation of porosity, carbon defects
33、and eta-phase contentEN ISO 4499-4:2016 (E) DIN EN ISO 4499-4:2016-10 4 IntroductionIn standard WC/Co hardmetals, the chemistry, magnetic properties and density are generally controlled so that only two phases WC and Co are present.123The Co phase is an alloy and contains some W and C in solid solut
34、ion. The WC phase is stoichiometric. If the composition is either high or low in total carbon content, then it is possible to see a third phase in the structure. For high C, this is graphite; for low C, it is eta phase (); typically, an M6C or M12C carbide where M is (CoxWy). This part of ISO 4499 i
35、s concerned with the detection and measurement of these microstructural features together with the measurement of porosity levels. Porosity is important since these materials are manufactured by a powder metallurgical route and although the technique of liquid phase sintering is used to consolidate
36、the multiphase structure, low levels of porosity can arise in some instances and affect properties such as density and strength.EN ISO 4499-4:2016 (E) DIN EN ISO 4499-4:2016-10 5 1 ScopeThis part of ISO 4499 specifies methods for the metallographic determination of the presence, type, and distributi

42、he following key issues: description of methods for sample preparation; description of how to identify and measure the relevant feature.In some cases, the approach adopted in ISO 4499-2 and ISO 4499-3 can be useful, whereby the intercept method is used on microphotographs of the structure for releva

44、s and measurements of features too small to be resolved with an optical microscope.6.3 Equipment for preparation of test-piece sections.7 Calibration of measurement apparatusFor reliable quantitative measurements, images shall be calibrated against a stage micrometre or scale traceable to a National
45、 Reference Standard. The most commonly used stage micrometres for SEMs are the SIRA grids. These are ruled lines which form a grid and are available with 19,7 lines/mm and 2 160 lines/mm. However, these shall also be calibrated and certified as being traceable to a National Reference Standard.For im
46、ages obtained from an optical microscope, an image of the calibration graticule shall also be obtained using the same objectives (and internal magnification step changers or zoom position) and illuminating technique. The microscope shall be set up for Khler illumination to obtain the maximum resolut
47、ion, see Reference 4.For images obtained from a scanning electron microscope, images of the graticule should be obtained under the same conditions (accelerating kV, working distance, illumination aperture) as those used for the hardmetal.8 Preparation of test samples8.1 Methods of preparationThere a
48、re several methods for the preparation of hardmetal surfaces for metallographic examination. For example, a detailed description is given in ISO 4499-1. Firstly, careful coarse grinding is carried out to remove sufficient material to ensure that the true structure is revealed. After grinding with fine diamond grit wheels, polishing is effected by using diamond paste or diamond powders of progressively finer grain size down to 1 m on rigidly supported laps of, for example, thin plastic, t
