Description

Preparation method of copper-iron dual-phase alloy sample for EBSD analysis
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of EBSD sample preparation, in particular to a preparation method of a sample for EBSD analysis of a copper-iron dual-phase alloy.
Background
In recent years, the research on the copper-iron alloy is more and more focused and the application range of the copper-iron alloy is wider due to the advantages of excellent electromagnetic shielding performance, higher strength and conductivity, low raw material cost and the like of the copper-iron alloy. High-strength and high-conductivity copper-iron materials are applied to electromagnetic shielding covers, electromagnetic shielding wires and wave-absorbing shielding coatings in the aerospace and military fields, railway contact networks, brakes, high-speed motors and the like in the traffic field, high-power heat dissipation plates, connectors, communication control wires and other high-end copper alloy products in the electrical and electronic field, and excellent material characteristics (the electrical conductivity is more than 50% IACS, the tensile strength is 400-650 MPa, and the electromagnetic shielding is more than 80dB in the frequency range of 1G-1.5 GHz) are shown in Japan and Korea. However, due to the technical secrecy, the industrial production of high-strength high-conductivity copper-iron materials with high iron content (more than or equal to 5 wt.%, and in this case, the duplex alloy) in China is still blank at present, and the bottleneck of the application of the high-strength high-conductivity copper-iron materials will restrict the development of China in the field of high-end equipment manufacturing and application. The industrial production of the copper-iron dual-phase alloy cannot be separated from corresponding basic research, and at present, the basic research on the copper-iron dual-phase alloy focuses on the aspects of second-phase strengthening and the like, which relate to SEM and TEM characterization and describe the influence of the type, volume fraction and the like of the second phase (particularly alpha-Fe phase) on strengthening and hardening. In addition, the crystal orientation also has a significant influence on the properties of the copper-iron dual-phase alloy, such as strength, hardness, electric conductivity, electromagnetic shielding and the like, and few researches on the crystal orientation of the copper-iron dual-phase alloy are related to the EBSD sample preparation difficulty of the copper-iron dual-phase alloy.
In the prior art, the crystal orientation is usually studied by the EBSD technique. EBSD technology, which is totally called Electron backscattering Diffraction (Electron Backscattered Diffraction, is an analysis technology of the orientation and crystal structure of Electron backscattering pattern crystal micro-areas assembled on SEM, and has been widely applied in the characterization of material micro-tissue structure and micro-texture, EBSD has the main characteristics of retaining the conventional characteristics of a scanning Electron microscope and simultaneously carrying out Diffraction with spatial resolution and submicron level, EBSD changes the conventional texture analysis method and forms a brand-new scientific field called microtexture, namely the microstructure and the crystallographic analysis are combined, EBSD technology can realize the full-automatic collection of micro-area orientation information, sample preparation is simpler, data collection speed is high (can reach about 36 ten thousand points/h or even faster), resolution is high (the spatial resolution and the angular resolution can reach 0.1m and 0.5m respectively), lays a foundation for the rapid quantitative statistical research of the microstructure and texture of materials, has become an effective analysis means in material research. Compared to SEM, EBSD has the function of analyzing crystal orientation information; compared with TEM, EBSD has the advantages of wide analysis area, high analysis speed and low cost. Currently, for traditional single-phase copper alloy, mechanical polishing, vibration polishing, chemical corrosion, electrolytic polishing and other methods can successfully prepare an EBSD sample.
However, the EBSD sample preparation method in the prior art for preparing the copper-iron dual-phase alloy sample has the following defects: for copper-iron dual-phase alloy (the iron content is higher than 5%), the traditional EBSD sample preparation methods cannot successfully prepare qualified EBSD samples, only can calibrate a copper matrix phase, but cannot calibrate an iron phase at the same time, and the prepared sample calibration rate is extremely low. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop a preparation method of a sample for EBSD analysis of the copper-iron dual-phase alloy so as to solve the technical problems.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the technical problems in the prior art, the invention provides the preparation method of the sample for the EBSD analysis of the copper-iron dual-phase alloy, the iron phase and the copper matrix phase can be calibrated simultaneously, and the calibration rate of the prepared sample is as high as 90-99%.
The invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a method of preparing a sample for EBSD analysis of a copper-iron dual phase alloy, the method comprising:
performing linear cutting on the copper-iron dual-phase alloy to obtain a sample to be processed;
grinding the sample to be treated, cleaning with ethanol, drying and demagnetizing to obtain a polished sample;
performing argon ion polishing on the polished sample, and obtaining a copper-iron dual-phase alloy sample for EBSD analysis; whereinThe vacuum degree in the argon ion polishing is controlled to be 5 multiplied by 10-3~9×10-3pa, the argon ion polishing sequentially comprises a rough reduction stage and a fine modification stage, the voltage of the rough reduction stage is 5-7 kv, the time of the rough reduction stage is not less than 7h, the voltage of the fine modification stage is 2-4 kv, and the time of the fine modification stage is not less than 3 h.
The invention carries out argon ion polishing on a polished sample, and the vacuum degree in the argon ion polishing is controlled to be 5 x 10-3~9×10-3pa, the argon ion polishing sequentially comprises a rough reduction stage and a fine modification stage, the voltage of the rough reduction stage is 5-7 kv, the time of the rough reduction stage is not less than 7h, the voltage of the fine modification stage is 2-4 kv, and the time of the fine modification stage is not less than 3 h. The argon ion polishing principle in the application is that argon is changed into argon ions under the action of an electric field, the argon ions bombard the surface of a sample, atoms on the surface of the sample are sputtered one by one, and the sample for the EBSD analysis of the copper-iron dual-phase alloy with no stress layer on the surface is obtained; the applicant finds through experiments that the sample preparation can be successfully carried out in the rough reduction stage and the fine modification stage, and the calibration rate is high, because after the argon ion polishing treatment is carried out on the surface of the metal material, the stress layer and the oxidation layer on the metal surface can be effectively removed by the high-speed argon ions.
In the above technical scheme, the vacuum degree is controlled at 5 × 10 during the argon ion polishing-3~9×10-3pa is because it is economically efficient and the degree of vacuum is less than 9X 10-3pa, the adverse effect of air interfering with the argon ions and possibly oxidizing the sample surface; if the vacuum degree is more than 5X 10-3pa, adverse effect of low experimental efficiency;
in the above technical solution, the reason why the argon ion polishing process is divided into the rough reduction stage and the fine modification stage for control is as follows: the rough shearing stage is mainly to cut off a layer of surface to improve the penetration depth of argon ions, the efficiency is high, but the surface is rough, and the voltage in the fine trimming stage is small, so that the rough part can be flattened. If the voltage of 5-7 kv is adopted all the time, the rough shearing voltage is high, the speed is high, but the adverse effect of rough surface of the sample is caused;
in the technical scheme, if the voltage in the rough reduction stage is less than 5kv, the penetration depth of argon ions is low, the efficiency is low, and if the voltage in the rough reduction stage is more than 7kv, the sample surface roughness is adversely affected, and if the time in the rough reduction stage is less than 7h, the calibration rate is extremely low;
in the technical scheme, if the voltage in the finishing stage is less than 2kv, the adverse effect that the surface of the sample cannot be effectively flattened exists, and if the voltage is more than 4kv, the adverse effect that the surface of the sample is rough exists; and the time of the fine modification stage cannot be less than 3h, otherwise, normal calibration cannot be carried out.
Preferably, in the above technical solution, the vacuum degree in the argon ion polishing is controlled at 6 × 10-3~8×10- 3pa, the voltage of the rough reduction stage is 5.5-6.5 kv, and the voltage of the fine modification stage is 2.5-3.5 kv. The argon ion polishing condition is a better parameter discovered by the applicant through experimental research, and the calibration rate of the sample prepared under the parameter is as high as more than 90%.
More preferably, in the above technical solution, the vacuum degree in the argon ion polishing is controlled at 7 × 10-3pa, the voltage of the rough reduction stage is 6kv, and the voltage of the fine modification stage is 3 kv. The argon ion polishing conditions are the best parameters found by the applicant through experimental research, and the calibration rate of the sample prepared under the parameters is as high as 100%.
Preferably, the angle formed by the argon ion beam and the polished sample surface is controlled to be 85-95 degrees. Experiments prove that the effect of vertically bombarding the surface of a sample by argon ions is good, and the experiment is specifically shown as follows: the bombardment angle of the argon ions is vertical to the surface of the sample, the penetration depth of the argon ions is high, and the permeation bombardment efficiency is high, so that the angle formed by the argon ion beam and the polished sample surface is controlled to be 85-95 degrees. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the angle of the argon ion beam with the polished sample surface is 90 °.
Specifically, in the technical scheme, the argon ion polishing adopts an argon ion beam with the purity of more than 99.9%, and the flow rate of the argon ion beam is 0.1-0.15 sccm.
The reason why argon gas having a purity of > 99.9% is used is that when the purity is lower than this value, oxygen gas is permeated, which affects argon ions and causes a risk of surface oxidation of the sample.
The argon flow in the range is 0.1-0.15 sccm; when the flow is too small, the adverse effect that the surface of the sample cannot be effectively bombarded exists; the flow is too large, so that the adverse effect of argon waste is caused;
in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the grinding, SiC sandpaper of 400 mesh, 600 mesh, 1000 mesh and 1500 mesh is used in this order for multiple times of grinding; and between two adjacent times of grinding, washing the SiC sand paper and the sample to be treated by water, and rotating the sample to be treated by 90 degrees along the same direction.
The SiC sand paper with 400 meshes, 600 meshes, 1000 meshes and 1500 meshes is sequentially used for grinding for multiple times, so that the method has the advantages of effectively covering the previous grinding scratches and being high in efficiency;
in a specific embodiment of the present invention, in the grinding, SiC sandpaper of 400 mesh, 600 mesh, 1000 mesh and 1500 mesh is used in this order for multiple times of grinding; and between two adjacent times of grinding, washing the SiC sand paper and the sample to be treated by water, and rotating the sample to be treated by 90 degrees along the same direction. In this embodiment, the abrasive paper and the sample are washed with tap water in the grinding process, and the sample is cleaned when the next piece of abrasive paper is changed, so that the sand grains with thicker upper lines can be brought to the fine abrasive paper, the original grinding direction is changed by 90 degrees, and the scratch left by the previous piece of abrasive paper is ground.
In the embodiment of the invention, because the copper matrix phase in the copper-iron dual-phase alloy is soft, uniform force is required during grinding, the force cannot be too heavy, the grain sizes of two kinds of sand paper used in a cutting and marking sequence cannot be greatly different, and if the grain sizes are too large, subsequent grinding cannot effectively remove the scratches of the previous grinding.
In a specific embodiment of the invention, the grinding time is 2-5 min for 400-mesh, 600-mesh, 1000-mesh and 1500-mesh SiC sandpaper. Other milling times may also be used in other embodiments.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the length of the sample to be treated is less than or equal to 4mm, the width is less than or equal to 4mm, and the thickness is less than or equal to 2 mm. This is done to form a sample that is easy to hold and to facilitate subsequent placement on a sample stage within the ion bombardment apparatus, and therefore it is desirable to ensure that the length and width of the sample is no greater than 4mm and the thickness is no greater than 2 mm.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the argon ion polishing temperature is room temperature (20-30 ℃), and can also be performed under liquid nitrogen cooling condition. The argon ion polishing can meet the requirements of subsequent EBSD experiments when being carried out at the normal temperature of 20-30 ℃, and can reduce the experiment efficiency and improve the experiment cost when being carried out under the condition of liquid nitrogen cooling, the rough reduction and the fine trimming temperature are carried out at the normal temperature, the liquid nitrogen cooling is not needed, the steps are simple, and the cost is low.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the ethanol has a mass fraction of 97% and is industrial ethanol; in other embodiments the mass fraction of ethanol may be 97% ± 2%.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drying is performed by cold air blowing with a blower. The reason for adopting cold wind to weather is to weather the ethanol on the surface of the sample as fast as possible without leaving ethanol water stain, and simultaneously avoid using hot wind and avoiding the oxidation of the surface of the sample.
In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the copper-iron dual phase alloy comprises one of a Cu-5Fe alloy, a Cu-10Fe alloy, and a Cu-14Fe alloy with varying Fe contents.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. according to the preparation method of the sample for the EBSD analysis of the copper-iron dual-phase alloy, provided by the invention, through argon ion polishing, the applicant finds that the vacuum degree in the argon ion polishing is controlled to be 5 multiplied by 10 through tests-3~9×10-3pa, dividing the sample into a rough reduction stage and a fine modification stage, wherein the voltage of the rough reduction stage is 5-7 kv, the time of the rough reduction stage is more than or equal to 7h, the voltage of the fine modification stage is 2-4 kv, and the time of the fine modification stage is more than or equal to 3h, so that the Cu matrix phase and the Fe phase can be simultaneously calibrated on the prepared sample by an EBSD technology, and the calibration rate is as high as 90-99%; the sample preparation method can also calibrate the high-iron-content copper-iron dual phase combination with large rolling deformationGold, and the calibration rate of the sample prepared by the traditional methods such as electrolytic polishing, mechanical polishing and the like is extremely low;
2. according to the preparation method of the sample for the copper-iron dual-phase alloy EBSD analysis, after primary grinding, mechanical polishing and chemical corrosion are not needed, after the ground sample is put into argon ion polishing equipment for polishing, an experimenter is not needed to stare at the equipment all the time, the experiment can be automatically stopped after the experiment time is up, and the sample preparation process is short in flow;
3. according to the preparation method of the sample for the copper-iron dual-phase alloy EBSD analysis, provided by the invention, by the argon ion polishing, chemical reagents such as strong acid and strong base are not needed in the sample preparation process, so that the problem of pollution caused by the chemical reagents such as the strong acid is solved.
