Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal material tissue texture characterization, and particularly relates to a method for preparing an EBSD sample of a refractory metal reinforced copper-based composite material. Background Art

[0002] Refractory metals (such as niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), molybdenum (Mo), and tungsten (W)) possess high melting points, high hardness, corrosion resistance, and resistance to high-temperature softening. High-purity copper (Cu) possesses excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and good ductility. Combining these two materials to create refractory metal-reinforced copper-based composites can fully leverage their advantages in high shear modulus and high conductivity, offering broad application prospects in power electronics, aerospace, nuclear power, and defense industries. For example, niobium / tantalum / molybdenum / tungsten phase-reinforced copper alloy sheets can be used in nuclear reactors, semiconductor heat sinks, and transformer circuit breakers, while wires can be used in pulsed high-magnetic field devices (such as copper-niobium conductors used at the Wuhan National Pulsed Magnetic Field Center) and electromagnetic gun coils. This places higher demands on the mechanical and functional properties of refractory metal-reinforced copper-based composites. Although researchers at home and abroad have studied the microstructure, properties, and mechanisms of refractory metal-reinforced copper-based composites, systematic and in-depth correlations between composition and interface orientation characteristics, dislocations, and grain boundary motion remain fundamental research areas. Therefore, there is an urgent need to combine advanced characterization methods to reveal the interface evolution characteristics during material deformation, and provide guidance for the subsequent optimization of its service performance by regulating the interface structure and orientation of the material.

[0003] Basic research plays a crucial role in the development of high-performance refractory metal-reinforced copper-based composites. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technology is particularly crucial for analyzing the microstructure and texture evolution of composites. High-quality EBSD samples must be smooth, flat, free of oxide layers, free of residual stress, and exhibit good electrical conductivity to ensure subsequent high-precision analysis. Currently, commonly used surface treatment methods for metal EBSD sample preparation include mechanical polishing, electrolytic polishing, and argon ion beam polishing. However, due to the significant differences in physical properties such as hardness and corrosion resistance among the components of refractory metal-reinforced copper-based composites, as well as the significant internal stresses introduced by deformation processing, the preparation of high-quality EBSD samples using these conventional methods faces numerous challenges. Specifically, mechanical polishing, due to its long polishing time, can introduce a deformation layer on the sample surface. Furthermore, the EBSD pattern indexing rate obtained by this method for demarcating heterogeneous interface regions is low and cannot meet testing requirements. For electrolytic polishing, the large corrosion potential difference between the refractory metal and the copper substrate makes it difficult to balance the corrosion rate during electrolysis, resulting in difficulty in simultaneously acquiring crystallographic information from both phases. Although argon ion beam polishing can achieve a high pattern index rate on heterogeneous phases, it may cause ion implantation damage and introduce an amorphous layer, affecting the accuracy of the analysis results. In addition, this method has a long sample preparation cycle (usually several hours), a small calibration area, and high cost.

[0004] Therefore, developing a convenient, efficient, high-pattern indexing rate and low-cost EBSD sample preparation method for refractory metal reinforced copper-based composites is of great significance for promoting the basic research of this material. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a method for preparing EBSD samples of refractory metal-reinforced copper-based composite materials. This method vibrates and polishes the mechanically ground refractory metal-reinforced copper-based composite material to remove surface grinding scratches, alleviate stress layer defects, and reduce surface roughness. Subsequently, the chemical reaction between the polishing liquid and the sample surface during chemical mechanical polishing triggers the adaptive passivation and synergistic removal of the corrosion inhibitor / complexing agent on the heterogeneous surface, thereby obtaining a high-quality sample surface. While ensuring high resolution, this method solves the problems of difficult composite material EBSD sample preparation, complex procedures, and long cycles caused by the large differences in hardness and corrosion rate between the two phases.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts a technical solution: a method for preparing an EBSD sample of a refractory metal reinforced copper-based composite material, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: Step 1: Cutting the sample: Cut the refractory metal reinforced copper-based composite material into a size that meets the EBSD characterization size to obtain the original sample to be processed; Step 2, hot mounting: hot mounting the original sample to be processed obtained in step 1 to obtain a mounted sample; Step 3: Mechanical grinding: Use 200 # ~2500 # The mounted sample in step 2 is mechanically ground with sandpaper from coarse to fine until the surface is smooth and free of visible scratches, thereby obtaining a ground sample; Step 4, vibration polishing: performing vibration polishing on the ground sample in step 3 to obtain a vibration polished sample; Step 5, chemical mechanical polishing: chemical mechanical polishing is performed on the vibration polished sample in step 4 to obtain a chemical polished sample; the polishing solution used in the chemical mechanical polishing is a mixture of guanidine hydrochloride, silica suspension, hydrogen peroxide, chelating agent, surfactant and deionized water; Step 6: Cleaning: The chemically polished sample in step 5 is ultrasonically cleaned in an ethanol bath and blown dry to obtain an EBSD sample of a refractory metal reinforced copper-based composite material.

[0007] The present invention first performs vibration polishing on the refractory metal reinforced copper-based composite material sample after mechanical grinding, and utilizes the high-frequency friction between the polishing liquid and the sample surface during the vibration polishing process to remove scratches and stress layer defects on the sample surface and reduce the surface roughness. Then, chemical mechanical polishing is introduced for fine processing. The polishing liquid of the chemical mechanical polishing has an oxidation, complexation and corrosion inhibition effect on the two phases in the refractory metal reinforced copper-based composite material, namely the copper matrix and the refractory metal, thereby triggering adaptive passivation and synergistic removal of the heterogeneous surface, effectively regulating the copper removal rate, and realizing synergistic regulation of the corrosion rate and intensity of the heterogeneous two-phase, so that the heterogeneous two-phase corrosion rate is close to 1:1, effectively eliminating the tiny corrosion pit defects generated on the sample surface after grinding, ensuring that the sample surface remains flat, smooth and in a low-stress state, thereby significantly improving the surface quality of the EBSD sample.
