Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metallographic detection of metal materials, and in particular to a metallographic etching agent and a metallographic preparation method of a high-magnesium aluminum alloy. Background Art

[0002] High magnesium aluminum alloy, classified by aluminum alloy grade, belongs to 5 series aluminum alloy. The aluminum content generally accounts for 5wt% to 10wt%, and can reach up to 12wt%. The increase of magnesium content greatly reduces the density of the material. Therefore, this type of material has become a key material with great application potential in industries such as aerospace, automobile industry and electronic equipment. With the increase of magnesium content, the solid solution strengthening effect of the alloy increases, and the processing performance of the material deteriorates. With the development of new deformation processes such as high strain rate rolling, the processing performance of high magnesium aluminum alloy has gradually improved, and it has become a new type of structural material that has attracted widespread attention. However, high magnesium aluminum alloy shows complexity in microstructure. Its organizational characteristics are mainly reflected in the unique composition rich in magnesium. When the magnesium content in the alloy is higher than 3.5wt.%, β-Al3Mg2 phase will precipitate and distribute along subgrain boundaries and grain boundaries, resulting in a decrease in its corrosion resistance. At the same time, during the severe hot deformation process, the dynamic recrystallization mechanism induces the formation of a "double peak structure", which makes the metallographic observation of the alloy more difficult. Traditional aluminum alloy metallographic etchants, such as Keller reagent, have poor corrosion effects, unclear grain boundaries, and affect the observation effect. Chinese patent document CN116103656A discloses an etchant for displaying the macroscopic structure of aluminum alloy and its application. The etchant is a broad-spectrum etchant suitable for various grades of aluminum alloys, but the corrosion effect is still not ideal for 5 series aluminum alloys with a magnesium content of more than 8%. Summary of the invention

[0003] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a metallographic etching agent suitable for high-magnesium aluminum alloys.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a metallographic etchant for high magnesium aluminum alloy, comprising a component A etchant and a component B etchant, wherein the component A etchant is composed of oxalic acid, nitric acid, and water (such as deionized water), and the component B etchant is composed of HF, HCl, HNO3, and H2O. The component B etchant is Keller reagent.

[0005] Furthermore, the volume fractions of oxalic acid, nitric acid and water in the component A corrosive agent are 0.5%-2%, 0.5%-2% and 96%-99% respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, the volume fractions of HF, HCl, HNO3, and H2O in the component B corrosive agent are 1%, 1.5%, 2.5%, and 95%, respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, the volume ratio of oxalic acid to nitric acid in the component A corrosive agent is 1:1.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a metallographic preparation method of a high-magnesium aluminum alloy, which uses the above-mentioned metallographic etchant and comprises the following steps: The high-magnesium aluminum alloy material to be corroded is corroded using component A corrosive agent and component B corrosive agent in sequence.

[0009] Furthermore, the corrosion time of the component A corrosive agent on the high-magnesium aluminum alloy material to be corroded does not exceed the corrosion time of the component B corrosive agent on the high-magnesium aluminum alloy material to be corroded.

[0010] Furthermore, the corrosion time of the component A corrosive agent on the high-magnesium aluminum alloy material to be corroded is 10S-30S.

[0011] Furthermore, the corrosion time of the component B corrosive agent on the high-magnesium aluminum alloy material to be corroded is 30S-60S.

[0012] Furthermore, the magnesium content in the high-magnesium aluminum alloy material to be corroded is 5wt%-12wt%.

[0013] Among them, the higher the magnesium content in the high-magnesium aluminum alloy material to be corroded, the longer the corrosion time.

[0014] Furthermore, the high-magnesium aluminum alloy material to be corroded is polished before corrosion, and the material is cleaned after each corrosion, wherein the cleaning process may be to put the material into deionized water for ultrasonic cleaning.

[0015] Among them, the corresponding relationship between the magnesium content in the high-magnesium aluminum alloy material to be corroded, the raw material ratio in the metallographic corrosive agent, and the corrosion time can be: a. When the magnesium content (wt%) in the high-magnesium aluminum alloy to be corroded is 5%, the metallographic corrosive agent includes component A corrosive agent (0.5% oxalic acid + 0.5% nitric acid + 99% water) and component B corrosive agent (1% HF + 1.5% HCl + 2.5% HNO3 + 95% H2O), and the corrosion time is: 10S for component A corrosive agent and 30S for component B corrosive agent.

[0016] b. When the magnesium content (wt%) in the high-magnesium aluminum alloy to be corroded is 8%, the metallographic corrosive agents include component A corrosive agent (1% oxalic acid + 1% nitric acid + 98% water) and component B corrosive agent (1% HF + 1.5% HCl + 2.5% HNO3 + 95% H2O), and the corrosion time is: 15S for component A corrosive agent and 45S for component B corrosive agent.

[0017] c. When the magnesium content (wt%) in the high-magnesium aluminum alloy to be corroded is 10%, the metallographic corrosive agent includes component A corrosive agent (1.5% oxalic acid + 1.5% nitric acid + 97% water) and component B corrosive agent (1% HF + 1.5% HCl + 2.5% HNO3 + 95% H2O), and the corrosion time is: 15S for component A corrosive agent and 50S for component B corrosive agent.

[0018] d. When the magnesium content (wt%) in the high-magnesium aluminum alloy to be corroded is 12%, the metallographic corrosive agents include component A corrosive agent (2% oxalic acid + 2% nitric acid + 96% water) and component B corrosive agent (1% HF + 1.5% HCl + 2.5% HNO3 + 95% H2O), and the corrosion time is: 20S for component A corrosive agent and 60S for component B corrosive agent.

[0019] The present invention overcomes the problem that traditional metallographic etching agents have poor effects on high-magnesium aluminum alloys, especially high-magnesium aluminum alloys with a magnesium content of more than 8%. In addition, the etching agent has simple raw materials, good safety in use, simple etching process and short etching time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
