Embodiment 1

[0067] Below, the preparation of transmission electron microscope samples by electrolytic polishing at the boundary point of deformation twins in pure copper is taken as an example to illustrate the use process of the present invention:

[0068] (1) Processing of the original sample: firstly, the deformed copper sheet sample was cut to a 0.8 mm thick sheet by a wire electric discharge machine, and the sample was thinned to 40 microns by sandpaper of different grain sizes. Surface scratches were removed by conventional electrolytic polishing. The surface of the sample was etched out of twins by chemical etching solution. A sample with a diameter of 3 mm was punched out by an electron microscope sample punch. The sample is thinned to the through-hole by the double-jet thinning process, and the macro-thinning around the hole is realized, such as Figure 4 shown. Put the double-sprayed sample 26 into the metal clamp block I23 of the anode sample holder, and then tighten the nut...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of material testing, in particular to a transmission electron microscope sample preparation device and method capable of locating the position of a thin area. Background technique [0002] Transmission electron microscopy is widely used in the analysis of microscopic morphology, crystal orientation and microregion composition of various metal materials, which is of great significance for establishing the relationship between material structure and performance and revealing the mechanism of microscopic deformation. Electron beams can only penetrate materials with a certain thickness (<100nm) for imaging. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare extremely thin electron beam transparent samples by different technical means before conducting transmission electron microscope observation. There are two main types of traditional methods for preparing metallic material TEM samples. The first type is electrochemical...
