Problems solved by technology

[0007] (2) Keller reagent (95 mL water, 2.5 mL HNO3, 1.5 mL HCI, 1.0 mL HF:) and similar reagents (HF, HNO 3 Mixed acid solution with HCL) can show the grain boundaries of some aluminum alloys in the metallographic preparation of aluminum alloys, but the effect is not ideal
However, when using Weck reagent to color some deformed aluminum alloys, the effect is not good.
Analyzing the reason, it may be that a small amount of sodium hydroxide contained in Weck's reagent is weak in corrosion, and it is not enough to etch the grain boundary, so it is difficult to see a clear structure

Abstract

The invention discloses a color metallography coloring method of an aluminum alloy. The color metallography coloring method comprises the following steps of (1) pre-etching, namely immersing a polished aluminum alloy metallographic specimen in an etching liquid for 1-10 minutes, after ending etching, washing with running water, cleaning with ethyl alcohol, and drying, wherein the etching liquid is a solution obtained by dissolving potassium chloride or sodium chloride in phosphoric acid or a solution prepared by phosphoric acid, nitric acid and water; and (2) coloring. The color metallography coloring method has the advantages that steps are simple, the coloring effect is good, and a clear grain structure can be obtained, namely, the clear microstructure can be obtained without adopting polarized light and sensitive hue for observation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a color metallographic coloring method for aluminum alloys, and belongs to the technical field of metal material plating. Background technique [0002] The study of the microstructure of metals and alloys is of great significance to deeply understand the relationship between the composition, structure and properties of metals and alloys. Among the various techniques for revealing the internal structure of metals, optical metallography is the earliest and most widely used, and the most widely used metallographic technique is black and white metallography. Color metallography mainly uses the thin film interference phenomenon of light through special methods to make the structure of metal or alloy show different colors. Compared with black and white metallography, color metallography has many advantages, such as high discrimination, and thin film interference of light is very sensitive to component segregation, grain orientation ...
