Before using, user shall determine the suitability of the product for his intended use, and user assumes all risk and liability whatsoever in connection therein. No statement or recommendation not contained herein shall have any force or effect unless in an agreement signed by officers of seller or manufacturer. The first step in metallographic sample pre paration consists in sectioning a sample from a larger given piece to obtain a representative cross- section. Sectioning a material without causing structural changes defines the perfect cut. Abrasive cut-off wheels are made of abrasive particles bonded with a resin, a resin/rubber or a rubber matrix. They are designed to wear away, continuously exposing sharp new abrasive particles. A "Soft" wheel is used for cutting hard and brittle materials. It provides new surfaces of cutting abrasives more rapidly while the bond breaks down. The "Hard " wheel has a slower break down bond rate, which is suitable for soft and ductile materials. Adequate cooling is required to remove debris and avoid thermal damages to the sample. The careful combination of particle type, particle size and wheel hardness helps prevent burns and distortions, yet provide maximum useful life. Cutting requires a sufficient amount of pressure to be applied to the abrasive wheel while cutting, excessive pressure will cause the abrasive wheel to stall or break. Cut-off wheels with aluminum oxide as the abrasive are generally used for cutting ferrous samples, alloys and most other metals. Silicon carbide is recommended for non-ferrous and other non- metallic materials. 9" 10" 12" 14" APPLICATIONS (229mm) (254mm) (305mm) (355mm) PRODUCT NUMBERS HRC60+, Carburized Steel, Tool Steel. 110-9 110-10 110-12 110-14 HRC50-65 Hard Steel.

Department of Physical Metallurgy and Materials Testing, Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria A. Widmanstätten (1754-1849) was one of the first scientists who developed techniques for studying the microstructure of meteorites by grinding and etching them with nitric acid. Also H.C. Sorby (1826- 1908) used such methods for microstructural investigations of minerals and rocks to identify their origin, as well as to examine steels and meteorites. Other famous and nowadays well known researchers such as R. Hadfield (1858—1940), A. Martens (1850-1914), E.C. Bains (1891-1971), K.H. Ledebur (1837- 1906), and H. Brearley (1871-1948) further developed these basic methods to get more information about the microstructure, especially in case of steels. Many microstructural parts or phases of the Fe- Fe3C phase diagram are called in honour of these scientists, e.g., “Widmanstätten ferrite”, “Sorbite”, “Bainite”, “Martensite”, or in case of cast iron “Ledeburite”. Without doubt, a material’s microstructure is decisive, because it is the arrangement, size and distribution of different phases which is responsible for the mechanical properties such as strength, ductility and toughness. In order to develop high-performance materials for existing and new applications it is necessary to establish a basic understanding of the material behaviour or its response under service loads. In addition to the standard methods such as light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), focused ion beam (FIB), also high-resolution methods (transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atom probe tomography (APT)) have been developed over the last three decades.

The microstructure of metals are com- monly observed under optical and/or electron microscopes, though other types of microscopes have been developed for specific uses. For any microscopic observation, the preparation of proper sample, which reveals the true microstructure is of prima ti, importance. Numerous and diverse techniques have been developed not only to suit the ma- terial but also for the type of microscope to be used. The techniques also vary with the details to be observed. It is difficult to prepare a comprehensive survey of the techniques developed and practised to- day. An attempt has been made here, to briefly discuss the most corn- monly used specimen preparation techniques for optical, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy together with their merits and demerits. Any specimen preparation method involves several steps. Proper care in each step is essential to avoid difficulty in the subse- quent steps and to reveal the true microstructure. The choice of a technique depends mainly on the materials, the detail required to be observed and the type of microscope to be used. INTRODUCTION The study of microstructural details of metals and alloys is termed as metal- lography.z The microstructure of steel was first observed by H.C.

  • Metallography of Titanium and Its Alloys
    MICROSTRUCTURE OF TITANIUM AND ITS ALLOYS George F. Vander Voort Director, Research & Technology, Buehler Ltd., Lake Bluff, Illinois, 60044, USA ABSTRACT A three-step preparation procedure was developed for titanium and its alloys. Attack polishing is utilized in the third step for optimal results, particularly for imaging alpha-Ti with polarized light. Two-phase α-β alloy specimens and all alloys are easier to prepare than single-phase α specimens. Kroll’s reagent appears to be adequate for most alloys. A modification of Weck’s reagent was used for color metallography. INTRODUCTION Titanium and its alloys have become quite important commercially over the past fifty years due to their low density, good strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties. On the negative side, the alloys are expensive to produce. Titanium, like iron, is allotropic and this produces many heat treatment similarities with steels. Moreover, the influences of alloying elements are assessed in like manner regarding their ability to stabilize the low temperature phase, alpha, or the high temperature phase, beta. Like steels, Ti and its alloys are generally characterized by their stable room temperature phases - alpha alloys, alpha-beta alloys and beta alloys, but with two additional categories: near alpha and near beta. Titanium and its alloys are more difficult to prepare for metallographic examination than steels. As for all refractory metals, titanium and its alloys have much lower grinding and polishing rates than steels. Deformation twinning can be induced in alpha alloys by overly aggressive sectioning and grinding procedures. It is safest to mount relatively pure Ti specimens, especially those from service in a hydrogen-containing environment, in castable (“cold”) resins rather than using hot compression mounting due to the potential for altering the hydride content and morphology.

  • Metallographic Preparation
    Metallographic Preparation Background Materials engineers can predict the general behavior of materials by observing their microstructure. Besides the crystallographic nature of a material, imperfections inside a material have an even greater influence on the mechanical properties, i.e. tensile, fatigue, creep, fracture toughness, impact properties. Some defects such as missing planes of atoms, called dislocations, are responsible for plastic deformation of crystalline solids. Others such as grain boundaries, precipitates, twins and cracks alter stress distribution in a material and the accompanying motion of dislocations. Some defects such as missing atoms and dislocations cannot be observed optically except by their effects, i.e. strain, etch pits, slip lines. Other defects such as grain boundaries, twins, precipitates, can be observed readily in the microscope. Procedures Metallography is essentially the study of the structural characteristics or constitution of a metal or an alloy in relation to its physical and mechanical properties. The most important part of metallography deals with the microscopic examination of a prepared metal specimen. The metallographic microscope is described in Appendix D on the MSE 227L webpage. Correct preparation begins with the selection of a suitable specimen and continues to the etching stage where the structure of the specimen is revealed. The microscopic examination then defines clearly such structural characteristics as grain size, the size, shape and distribution of secondary phases and non-metallic inclusions; and segregation and other heterogeneous conditions. These characteristics profoundly influence the mechanical properties and physical behavior of the metal. Metallographic examination can provide quantitative information about specimen grain sizes, amount of interfacial area per unit volume, and the amount and distribution of phases.
