The matrix of the stainless steel material contains high carbon content, the quenched metallographic structure generally comprises a martensite matrix, eutectic carbide, retained austenite, secondary carbide and a metal compound, the undissolved secondary carbide is uniformly distributed on the matrix and a crystal boundary after quenching due to the high carbon content, a common chlorinated high-iron hydrochloric acid alcohol etching agent is difficult to clearly corrode the crystal boundary of original austenite grains and grade the grain size, and in the actual metallographic analysis process, the grain size is often graded by observing the quenched martensite structure trend, so that the grading result has deviation. The grade of the grain size has an important effect on the strength, hardness and plasticity of the material, and scientific and accurate evaluation of the grade of the grain size is the main content of gold phase analysis. Therefore, a metallographic etching method for grain boundaries of high-carbon martensitic stainless steel (carbon content ≥ 0.6%) must be explored.

Detailed Description
The invention provides a metallographic corrosion method of a high-carbon martensitic stainless steel grain boundary, which comprises the following steps of:
coarse grinding, fine grinding, polishing, cleaning and drying the high-carbon martensitic stainless steel metallographic specimen to obtain a bright and scratch-free polished surface; corroding the polished surface for 5-30 s at room temperature by adopting a metallographic corrosive agent, cleaning and drying; the metallographic corrosive agent comprises the following components: 1-4 g picric acid, 5ml concentrated hydrochloric acid, 100ml alcohol and 2-5 ml liquid detergent.
In the metallographic corrosion method for the grain boundary of the high-carbon martensitic stainless steel, the high-carbon martensitic stainless steel is martensitic stainless steel with the carbon content of more than 0.6 percent and the chromium content of more than 12 percent.
Furthermore, in the metallographic etching method for the grain boundary of the high-carbon martensitic stainless steel, the high-carbon martensitic stainless steel is 6Cr18Mo, 9Cr18, 9Cr18Mo or 9Cr18 MoV.
Because the high-carbon martensitic stainless steel contains a large amount of carbon, after quenching treatment, a large amount of carbides are dispersed and distributed at a matrix and a crystal boundary, particularly because the carbides exist at the crystal boundary, a common picric acid hydrochloric acid alcohol reagent, ferric chloride or copper chloride hydrochloric acid alcohol reagent can simultaneously corrode the matrix and the crystal boundary, and the crystal boundary contrast of a corroded sample is not obvious. Therefore, the conventional method is difficult to perform metallographic corrosion on high-carbon martensitic stainless steel.
The formula of the metallographic corrosive agent is obtained through a large number of experiments, because the characteristics of the polycrystalline metal material and the corrosion resistance of crystal grains are different from those of crystal boundaries, the basic principle of metallographic corrosion is that the corrosion resistance is different, and the suitable corrosive agent is selected to improve the corrosion of the crystal boundaries as much as possible and reduce the corrosion of the crystal grains, so that the large optical contrast is achieved, and the observation, comparison and distinction of detection personnel under an optical microscope are facilitated. According to the invention, a certain amount of tableware detergent is particularly added into the metallographic corrosive agent, so that the surface activity of a solvent can be improved, the surface tension of a sample is reduced, and the surface effect of a corrosion inhibition matrix is achieved, thereby improving the optical contrast between crystal grains and crystal boundaries after the sample is corroded. Phosphorus is an element with certain corrosion performance, and the addition of the phosphorus can cause the reduction of the contrast of crystals, so that the tableware detergent needs to adopt the phosphorus-free tableware detergent. .
After the corrosion agent disclosed by the invention is used for corrosion, the contrast between a metallographic structure and a grain boundary is improved, and the quenched martensite prior austenite grains and the annealed pearlite prior austenite grains can be clearly displayed.
In the metallographic etching method for the grain boundary of the high-carbon martensitic stainless steel, the preparation method of the metallographic etchant comprises the following steps: the picric acid and the concentrated hydrochloric acid with the formula amount are poured into alcohol, dissolved and mixed evenly, and then the common tableware detergent with the phosphorus-free formula is dripped into the mixture.
Further, in the metallographic corrosion method of the high-carbon martensitic stainless steel grain boundary, the picric acid is analytically pure with the mass fraction of more than 99%; the concentrated hydrochloric acid is concentrated hydrochloric acid with mass concentration more than 30%; the alcohol is analytically pure with the mass fraction of more than 99%; the tableware detergent is a common household tableware detergent with a phosphorus-free formula.
In the metallographic corrosion method of the high-carbon martensitic stainless steel grain boundary, the cleaning is firstly carried out by using clean water and then is carried out by using alcohol.
Because the invention aims at the steel grade with high carbon content, the corrosion resistance is lower when the carbon content is higher according to the characteristics of the steel grade, the carbon content of the high-carbon martensite stainless steel generally exceeds 0.6 percent, a large amount of carbon can be precipitated in the form of carbide at the grain boundary and can be dispersed in crystal grains, the carbide has limited corrosion during corrosion, if the corrosion is not carried out by a common corrosive agent added with a corrosion inhibitor, the grain boundary of a metallographic phase is not obvious from the crystal grains, and the detection personnel can hardly distinguish the grain boundary from the crystal grains. Since different heat treatment conditions also affect the overall corrosion resistance of the material, the quenched material is less prone to intergranular chromium depletion due to the large amount of carbon being dissolved in the matrix than the annealed material, and the specific corrosion time is determined by the color of the sample surface during corrosion.
In the metallographic corrosion method for the grain boundary of the high-carbon martensitic stainless steel, the rough grinding, the fine grinding, the polishing, the cleaning and the drying of the metallographic specimen of the high-carbon martensitic stainless steel can be carried out by adopting a common method in the field. The rough grinding adopts water sand paper, the grain diameter is below 400 meshes after the rough grinding, then the metallographic sand paper is adopted for fine grinding, the grain diameter is 600/800/1000 meshes after the fine grinding, the diamond grinding paste is adopted for polishing, and the bright polished surface without scratches is obtained after the ultrasonic cleaning agent and the alcohol washing are carried out and then the drying treatment is carried out by electric blowing.
The following examples are intended to illustrate specific embodiments of the present invention without limiting the scope of the invention to the examples.
In the embodiment, two kinds of high-carbon martensitic stainless steels with different carbon contents are respectively selected and treated by the corrosive agent and the corrosion method shown in the invention, and the compositions of the two kinds of high-carbon martensitic stainless steels with different carbon contents are shown in table 1.
