Abstract

The invention discloses an etchant for observation and energy spectrum analysis of the sigma phase through a scanning electron microscope. The etchant is formed through mixing the following raw materials in percentage by mass: 1-12% of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate, 8-21% of sodium chloride, 18-41% of phosphoric acid, 0.1-7.5% of absolute ethyl alcohol and 19-72% of distilled water; during the etching process of austenite heat-resistance stainless steel, the etchant composed of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate, sodium chloride, phosphoric acid, absolute ethyl alcohol and distilled water can effectively restrain an etch pit formed through excessive corrosion, dissolving and falling; the scanning electron microscope can observe that the morphology of the sigma phase in the austenite heat-resistance stainless steel is complete and clear, the situation that an energy spectrometer can be adopted to carry out precise composition detection and analysis on the sigma phase is ensured, and a significance is played in analyzing and determining the failure cause of the austenite heat-resistance stainless steel material; and the etchant is simple in composition, stable in etching effect, and high in reproducibility, can be stored and used for a long time, and is an ideal etchant for observation and energy spectrum analysis of the sigma phase through the scanning electron microscope.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of etchant, in particular to an etchant for scanning electron microscope observation and energy spectrum analysis of σ phase. Background technique [0002] The sigma phase is an iron-chromium intermetallic compound (FeCr) with a body-centered tetragonal crystal structure, which is hard and brittle. For austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel used in power plant boilers, the σ phase will precipitate after long-term operation failure, and the precipitation and growth of the σ phase will significantly reduce the plasticity and toughness of the material, leading to early failure of the material. It is important to determine the cause of material failure. [0003] At present, the etchants commonly used in the metallographic examination of the σ phase include existing chemical etchants such as ferric chloride-hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, picric acid-hydrochloric acid-alcohol solution, etc. Normal etching...
