Technical Field
The invention relates to a copper-iron-carbon alloy metallographic etching agent and a use method thereof, belonging to the technical field of metallographic etching.
Background
The internal structure of the alloy material directly determines the mechanical properties such as strength and hardness and the physical properties such as electric conduction and heat conduction, and metallographic analysis is one of the most basic, direct and simple methods for researching the microstructure of the metal material, and the basic steps are that a polished alloy sample is immersed in a metallographic etching agent for a plurality of times, and the microstructure is observed by a metallographic microscope after cleaning and blow-drying; since different structures (such as crystal grains and grain boundaries, and a matrix and a second phase) are corroded at different speeds and depths in the etchant, images with different shades are displayed in a microscope. Copper-iron alloy has high strength and low cost, and has been studied widely in recent years, and literature search shows thatThe metallographic etchant generally adopts FeCl 3 The mixed solution of HCl and water has strong oxidizing property and corrosiveness, is extremely easy to cause excessive corrosion, leads to inaccurate metallographic analysis, and is unfavorable for the health of experimental staff and easy to pollute the water body and the atmosphere.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a copper-iron-carbon alloy metallographic etchant which has weaker oxidizing property, can be uniformly corroded and is more environment-friendly, and a use method thereof, wherein the etchant comprises the following components in percentage by weight: acetic acid: 5-30% of sodium chloride: 1 to 3 percent of sodium sulfate: 0.5-2%, and the balance being water; the application method comprises the following steps: polishing copper-iron-carbon alloy samples sequentially by using water sand paper with 180 meshes, 600 meshes, 1500 meshes and 2000 meshes, polishing sequentially by using grinding paste with granularity of 1 mu m and 0.5 mu m, cleaning and drying by using absolute ethyl alcohol, immersing the copper-iron-carbon alloy samples in the metallographic etchant, keeping the temperature of the etchant at 15-35 ℃, immersing depth of 1-3 mm, immersing for 20-50 s, taking out the samples, cleaning and drying sequentially by using deionized water and absolute ethyl alcohol, and observing and recording microscopic structures by using a metallographic microscope.
Compared with the prior art, the method adopts weak acid and salts to prepare the copper-iron-carbon alloy metallographic etchant, the grain boundary and the second phase of the metallographic structure have good display effect, and compared with the existing strong acid and strong oxidizing ferric salt etchant, the method has lower oxidizing property and corrosivity, can more uniformly corrode the alloy to enable metallographic analysis to be more accurate, and has little harm to the health and environment of experimental staff.

Detailed Description
Example 1:
the embodiment provides a method for preparing a metallographic specimen of a heat-treated Cu-10Fe-0.1C alloy by using the etchant, which comprises the following components in percentage by weight: acetic acid: 15%, sodium chloride: 1%, sodium sulfate: 0.5 percent of water and the balance of water, and the specific steps are as follows:
the Cu-10Fe-0.1C alloy subjected to solution treatment is sampled, sequentially polished by using water sand paper with 180 meshes, 600 meshes, 1500 meshes and 2000 meshes, sequentially polished by using grinding paste with granularity of 1 mu m and 0.5 mu m, washed by using absolute ethyl alcohol and dried, then immersed in the etchant, the temperature of the etchant is kept at 20 ℃, the immersion depth is 2mm, the immersion time is 30s, the sample is taken out, sequentially washed by using deionized water and absolute ethyl alcohol and dried, then observed by using a metallographic microscope, the appearance is observed, the crystal boundary is clear and discernable, the light gray part is a copper-rich matrix, the dark gray dendritic iron-rich phase and the black spherical iron-rich phase are also quite clear, and the etching effect is good.
To facilitate comparative observation of the effect of the etchant of the present invention, the solution-treated Cu-10Fe-0.1C alloy was sampled in the same manner, and was polished, washed, and blow-dried by the same procedure as in example 1, and then immersed in a strongly oxidizing etchant (5 g FeCl 3 +10mL HCl+100mL H 2 O mixture) using the same etching parameters as in example 1, the samples were taken out, washed and dried, and then observed with a metallographic microscope, and fig. 2 is an observed etching profile, and it was found that the etching was very uneven, that some local grain boundaries had been excessively etched to appear thicker, and that some local grain boundaries had not been completely etched out, which could affect the accurate analysis of metallographic phase. The metallographic etching effect of the strong oxidizing etchant is inferior to that of the etchant of the invention.
