Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of metallographic etching agent of Nitinol and method for displaying metallographic structure, belong to etching pit technology
Field.
Background technology
Nitinol be studied in current marmem most comprehensively, memory performance is best, the strongest alloy of practicability
Material, its own corrosion resistance protrude, and memory effect is notable, functional reliability is high and certain bioactivity, shows very
Good development prospect, is especially widely used in medical domain.
However the metallographic of Nitinol is not easy to be made, this just brings resistance to the research Optimization Progress of nickel-titanium alloy material
Hinder.Corrosive agent conventional selection currently used for preparing Nitinol metallographic is perchloric acid, but perchloric acid is expensive, and crystalline phase is shown
As a result also more general, and it is great that itself there is strong oxidizing property, strong corrosive and strong oxidizing property to be constituted to environment and human body
Security risk.
Invention content
The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above shortcomings, and from corrosive agent prepare it is simple, of low cost, environmentally friendly and efficiently
It angularly sets out, provides a kind of metallographic etching agent and method for displaying metallographic structure of Nitinol.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this:
A kind of metallographic etching agent of Nitinol, the corrosive agent ingredient are hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and deionized water, and each component contains
The volume ratio of amount is 1:2:5, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and deionized water are poured into specified containers successively, are stood after uniform stirring, are obtained
Corrosive agent.
A kind of method for displaying metallographic structure of Nitinol, this method are as follows:
1) Nitinol sample is put into above the lower die in pointing machine, the phenolic resin inlay being then filled with covers
Upper mold carries out heating pressurization, is taken out after sample is fully cooled to room temperature after heat preservation;
2) sample inlayed is placed on grinder and passes through multiple sand paper mechanical lapping, then carried out on sand paper manual
Grinding, until the cut of a upper procedure is override, new cut direction is consistent;
3) polishing flannelet is finished changing on turntable, uniformly the upper polishing fluid of sprinkling, then ground sample is placed on polishing cloth
Upper polishing is thrown to surface no marking;Then one piece of new polishing cloth is changed, polishing fluid is uniformly sprayed, repeats above-mentioned polishing step
It is rapid, sample is finally taken out, is dried up after cleaning for use;
4) sample obtained is first put into supersonic wave cleaning machine and is cleaned, taken out later and sample surfaces are blown to water stain-free
;
5) hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, deionized water are measured respectively with graduated cylinder, pours into specified containers stood after uniform stirring successively
Obtain corrosive agent;
6) the etch time first is set with timer, then grips sample with tweezers, so that it is completely immersed in corrosive agent, press
Timer takes out sample after timer sound;
7) deionized water cleaning sample, cleaned just drying is used to stand;
8) sample after drying is positioned on metallographic microscope objective table, observes its metallographic structure.
The holding temperature of pointing machine is 400 DEG C in step 1), and soaking time is 14 minutes, waits for 20 points after heat preservation again
Clock waits for that sample is completely cooling.
Sample in step 2) on the sand paper of 600,800,1000,1200,1500 mesh successively by carrying out mechanical lapping, so
Hand-ground is carried out on the sand paper of 2500,5000 mesh afterwards, is needed when changing sand paper every time by 90 ° of rotary sample, and grinding every time
After need with clear water rinse sample to remove remained on surface impurity.
Step 3) finishes changing polishing flannelet on turntable, uniformly sprays 0.5 μm of polishing fluid, then ground sample is placed
It is polished on polishing cloth;Then one piece of new polishing cloth is changed, 0.25 μm of polishing fluid is uniformly sprayed.
Sample obtained is first put into supersonic wave cleaning machine and cleans 2 minutes by step 4).
Measure hydrofluoric acid 10ml, nitric acid 20ml in step 5) respectively with graduated cylinder, deionized water 50ml pours into specified appearance successively
It in device, is stood after uniform stirring, obtains corrosive agent.
Step 6) Timer sets 40 seconds etch time.
The scavenging period of step 7) deionized water cleaning sample is 1 minute.
The display multiple of metallographic microscope in step 8) is in 400X.
Compared with prior art, the beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
The metallographic etching agent and method for displaying metallographic structure of a kind of this Nitinol are compared to the height as conventional corrosion agent
Chloric acid, the nitric acid in corrosive agent of the invention are diluted with hydrofluoric acid by a large amount of deionized water, substantially reduce metallographic etching agent
The concentration of middle nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid, while the corrosivity and oxidisability of metallographic etching agent are reduced, it endangers to the health of operating personnel
The security risks such as evil and environmental pollution are preferably minimized;Corrosive agent configuration is simple, and cost is also cheaper, and key is corrosive effect
Well, the metallographic structure of sample just can be effectively shown after corrosion 40s;It is clearly bright to corrode the metallographic structure in the present invention
It distinguishes, is conducive to scientific research personnel and more detailed exploratory development is carried out for the structural constituent of Nitinol.In addition metallographic structure is aobvious
Show that method is simple and convenient, the metallographic structure of observation is clearly shrewd, be conducive to scientific research personnel for Nitinol structural constituent into
The more detailed exploratory development of row.

Upper mold is covered, heating pressurization is carried out, holding temperature is 400 DEG C, and soaking time is 14 minutes, waits for 20 points after heat preservation again
Clock takes out after sample is fully cooled to room temperature.
2, the sample inlayed is placed on to the sand paper machine for passing through 600,800,1000,1200,1500 mesh on grinder successively
Tool is ground, and is then carried out hand-ground on the sand paper of 2500,5000 mesh, is needed when changing sand paper every time by 90 ° of rotary sample, directly
To the cut of a upper procedure is override, new cut direction is consistent, and need after grinding every time with clear water rinse sample with
Remove remained on surface impurity.
3, polishing flannelet is finished changing on turntable, uniformly sprays 0.5 μm of polishing fluid, then ground sample is placed on throwing
It is polished on light cloth, rotary speed is 150 revs/min, is thrown to surface no marking;Then one piece of new polishing cloth is changed, is uniformly sprayed
0.25 μm of polishing fluid is spilt, above-mentioned polishing step is repeated, finally takes out sample, is dried up after cleaning for use.
4, sample obtained is first put into supersonic wave cleaning machine and is cleaned 2 minutes, taking-up later dries rifle with ion and is blown to sample
Product surface water stain-free.
5, hydrofluoric acid 10ml, nitric acid 20ml are measured respectively with graduated cylinder, deionized water 50ml is poured into specified containers successively,
It is stood after even stirring, obtains corrosive agent.
6,40 seconds etch time first is set with timer, then grips sample with tweezers, it is made to be completely immersed in corrosive agent,
It presses timer and takes out sample after timer sound.
7, with deionized water cleaning sample, scavenging period 1 minute is stood after drying.
