17、he line intercept method, for optical microscope determination of primary content of titanium alloy wrought products, for aerospace applications. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition c
18、ited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 3114-001, Aerospace series Test method Microstructure of ( + ) titanium alloy wrought products Part 001: General requirements. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this s
19、tandard, the terms and definitions given in EN 3114-001 apply. 4 Principle Micrographic examination for determination of the primary content by: Counting the number of points of a specified point grid, enclosed in particles, point count method (Method A); Determining the lengths of lines of a specif
20、ied line grid intercepted by particles, line intercept method (Method B). 5 Sampling and sample preparation The test sample shall have a size such that the section to be examined shall not be less than 10 mm in diameter or square. The surface of the section shall be prepared according to EN 3114-001
21、. 6 Test methods 6.1 Point count method (Method A) Superimpose the specified point grid (see example in Figure 1) on the section to be examined. Adjust magnification so that each primary particle does not coincide with more than one point of the grid: Assessment is carried out as follows: all those
22、points on the grid which are enclosed by a primary particle are counted; a point lying exactly on a phase boundary is counted as 0,5 point; the sum N () of these points divided by the total number N of the grid points equals the amount of primary , Np; EN 3683:20075 Np corresponds to the volume (Vv)
23、 of primary on the surface area covered by the point grid. NpN)(NvV = See Figure 1 for an example of the calculation. Figure 1 Illustration of the point count method The diamonds represent particles. The dots represent points of the grid. The crosses represent points enclosed within particles. EXAMP

25、 under examination to improve the accuracy of the determination by averaging. EN 3683:20076 6.2 Line intercept method (Method B) Superimpose the specified line grid (see example in Figure 2) on the section to be examined. Adjust magnification so that each primary particle in not intersected by more
26、than one grid line in each direction. Assessment is carried out as follows: the lengths of all portions of the grid lines which lie over an particle are added to produce the total S (); this count shall be carried out in both directions of the grid; the value S () divided by the total length S of al

28、 of the line intercept method The diamonds represent particles. The square lines represent the grid. a + b = the length of the grid lines S(). EN 3683:20077 EXAMPLE Total length of all grid lines S = 900 mm The total of all a and b lengths S() = 204 mm Calculation of the content of primary : 0,23900
29、204S)(S=The statistical error (Vv) is calculated as follows: Vv= 2 NLN11L)s(S(2+ where: s(S() is the standard deviation of line portion length distribution; L is the mean value of the line portion length; N is the number of intersected particles. It is recommended that the count be carried out at se
30、veral locations within the surface under examination to improve the accuracy of the determination by averaging. 7 Expression of results For each method, the individual or average values of primary content shall be given with the corresponding calculated statistical error. 8 Test report The test repo
