Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metallographic inspection, in particular to a corrosion device suitable for metallographic inspection in harsh environments and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Metallographic etching is a core method for revealing microstructures in metallographic examinations, and its quality directly impacts the results of metallographic analysis. When etching specimens in the laboratory, they are typically immersed in an etchant or wiped with absorbent cotton soaked in the etchant. A stable laboratory environment with constant humidity, temperature, and no drafts provides optimal metallographic etching results.

[0003] During on-site metallography, the on-site environment significantly impacts the metallographic corrosion process and results. For example, limited operating space prevents sufficient etching of the metal sample surface. Low ambient temperature and low etchant activity result in insufficient erosion of the metal sample surface, making it impossible to reveal the metallographic structure. High on-site wind speeds can easily blow the etchant onto the operator or other equipment, causing corrosion damage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned issue of the significant impact of the on-site environment on the metallographic etching process and corrosion effects, the present invention proposes a metallographic etching device and method for use suitable for harsh environments. The metallographic etching device of the present invention is self-heating, prevents the etching agent from flowing, and exhibits self-adhesive properties, allowing it to firmly adhere to metal surfaces. It offers advantages such as adaptability to harsh on-site environments, portability, ease of operation, and safety.

[0005] The present invention proposes a corrosion device and a method of use suitable for metallographic inspection in harsh environments, which specifically includes an isolation layer, a breathable layer, a heating reagent layer, an isolation bonding layer and a corrosive agent adsorption layer. The breathable layer, the heating reagent layer, the isolation bonding layer and the corrosive agent adsorption layer are connected in sequence from bottom to top, and the breathable layer and the heating reagent layer are coated with an isolation layer on the outside.

[0006] Furthermore, the corrosive agent adsorption layer is arranged at the center of the upper surface of the isolation and bonding layer, and the area of ​​the corrosive agent adsorption layer is smaller than that of the isolation and bonding layer.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a sealed bag, in which the corrosion device is packaged.

[0008] Furthermore, the exothermic reagent in the exothermic reagent layer is a mixture of iron powder and activated carbon.

[0009] Furthermore, the corrosive agent adsorption layer is a medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge.

[0010] A method for using the above-mentioned corrosion device for metallographic inspection in harsh environments comprises the following steps: Open the sealed bag, tear off the isolation layer, let the air pass through the breathable layer, and react with the heating reagent to generate heat; drop the corrosive agent on the corrosive agent adsorption layer, and adhere the isolation adhesive layer to the metal surface to be corroded.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the corrosion device and method of use suitable for metallographic inspection in harsh environments described in the present invention are: (1) The present invention relates to a corrosion device and a method for use in metallographic inspection in harsh environments. The heat-generating reagent layer can provide heat during the process of the corrosive agent corroding the metal surface, thereby ensuring the activity of the corrosive agent. The air-permeable layer can ensure that the heat-generating reagent can come into contact with the air without leaking the heat-generating reagent. The isolation layer can isolate the air to prevent the heat-generating reagent from reacting with the air in advance.

[0012] (2) The present invention relates to a corrosion device and a method for use suitable for metallographic inspection in harsh environments. The corrosive agent adsorption layer is fixed to the metal surface through an isolating adhesive layer to prevent the device from falling off and ensure that the corrosive agent is in full contact with the metal surface.

The etching device for metallographic inspection in harsh environments described in this embodiment specifically comprises a sealing bag 1, an isolation layer 2, a breathable layer 3, a heating reagent layer 4, an isolation adhesive layer 5, and a corrosive adsorption layer 6. The breathable layer 3, heating reagent layer 4, isolation adhesive layer 5, and corrosive adsorption layer 6 are sequentially connected from bottom to top.

An appropriate amount of etchant is then dripped onto the etchant adsorption layer 6, and the isolation adhesive layer 5 is adhered to the metal surface to be etched. While the etchant adsorption layer 6 is etching the metal surface, the exothermic reagent 4 continuously provides heat, increasing the corrosion reaction rate and achieving optimal etching results. The isolation adhesive layer 5 isolates the etchant from the external environment, enhancing safety.

[0024] To summarize the above implementation cases, the present invention relates to a corrosion device and a method for use for metallographic inspection in harsh environments.

At the same time, the corrosive agent is isolated from the external environment to improve safety. The present invention relates to a corrosion device and a method for use for metallographic inspection in harsh environments. The sealing bag 1 provided to encapsulate the corrosion device protects the device when not in use.
