Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of material microanalysis, and in particular to a method for preparing a neodymium iron boron electron backscatter diffraction sample. Background Art
[0002] NdFeB magnets are widely used in new energy vehicles, wind power generation, medical imaging and other fields due to their excellent magnetic properties. EBSD technology is a key means to analyze its microscopic grain orientation, phase distribution and grain boundary characteristics. At the same time, due to the extremely strong magnetic anisotropy of NdFeB materials, the crystal orientation of the material is of decisive significance to the performance of the final magnet. Therefore, it is necessary to use EBSD technology to analyze the orientation of NdFeB magnets. However, NdFeB magnets are susceptible to oxidation and corrosion, and have high hardness and high brittleness, resulting in the following challenges for EBSD sample preparation: Limitations of existing sample preparation methods: Argon ion polishing: The equipment purchase cost is high (more than 1 million yuan per unit), the function is single, the maintenance is complex, and the high-energy ion beam is easy to introduce surface amorphization, resulting in a decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio of the Kikuchi pattern (see attached Figure 2 (B));
[0003] Electrolytic polishing: The process parameters (voltage, electrolyte concentration) are difficult to control precisely, which can easily cause uneven corrosion on the sample surface, preferential dissolution of the Nd-rich phase, and affect grain boundary analysis;
[0004] Vibration polishing: It needs to run continuously for 8 to 12 hours, the equipment cost is high (over 500,000 yuan), and long-term mechanical vibration may cause damage to the edge of the sample.
[0005] Disadvantages of traditional metallographic sample preparation: The inevitable introduction of grinding stress in traditional metallographic sample preparation schemes makes EBSD testing impossible. Although traditional metal materials can effectively remove stress layers through electrolytic polishing, for NdFeB materials, their high activity leads to excessive corrosion, which limits the application of electrolytic polishing. However, the existing technology CN113514485A discloses a method for preparing NdFeB electron backscatter diffraction analysis samples, which not only relies on multi-grade sandpaper (No. 120 to 2500) for step-by-step grinding, which takes up to 4 to 6 hours, but also requires vibration polishing to eliminate surface stress.
[0006] Therefore, in response to the above problems, the present invention provides a method for preparing NdFeB electron backscatter diffraction samples. By optimizing the grinding and polishing processes and introducing a customized polishing liquid formula, a NdFeB EBSD sample preparation method with high efficiency, low cost and universality is developed, which significantly shortens the sample preparation cycle, reduces equipment dependence and consumables costs, and is particularly suitable for conventional laboratory environments without dedicated polishing equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Preferably, the cost of the aluminum oxide polishing agent is 20% of that of the diamond polishing liquid.
[0025] Preferably, in the mechanochemical polishing step, the silica sol suspension forms a passivation film on the sample surface through a mechanical-chemical synergistic effect, thereby inhibiting oxidation and improving the contrast of the Kikuchi pattern.

[0032] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0033] 1. The present invention significantly improves sample preparation efficiency: Traditional EBSD sample preparation usually takes ≥12 hours (such as electrolytic polishing and argon ion polishing). However, by optimizing the mechanical grinding, mechanical polishing, and mechanochemical polishing processes, the present invention reduces the sample preparation time to ≤120 minutes, increasing efficiency by more than 5 times.

It does not require expensive argon ion polishers or vibration polishers, but only requires conventional metallographic grinding and polishing equipment, lowering the equipment investment threshold.
[0035] 3. The sample quality of the present invention is optimized, and the Kikuchi pattern has high clarity. Through the synergistic effect of pH adjustment (pH 8-10) and antioxidant (BTA), the oxidation of NdFeB is effectively inhibited, the surface amorphization is reduced, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the Kikuchi pattern is improved (≥6:1). Mechanical chemical polishing removes the stress layer and forms a passivation film, making the sample surface roughness Ra ≤ 10nm, meeting the requirements of high-resolution EBSD analysis.
[0036] 4. The present invention has a wide range of applications and is easy to operate. It is suitable for block, flake and powder (0.5-500 micron) NdFeB samples. Conductive resin mounting ensures the uniformity of powder samples. The polishing endpoint can be monitored in real time (laser confocal microscope detection Ra ≤ 10nm) to avoid over-polishing or under-polishing. In addition, the present invention only requires a conventional metallographic polishing machine, without the need for an argon ion polisher or a vibration polisher.
[0037] 5. The process of the present invention is stable and has good repeatability. The parameters of each step (temperature, pressure, speed, time) are precisely controllable, ensuring the consistency of sample preparation in different batches. Compared with electrolytic polishing (which is easily affected by electrolyte composition and voltage fluctuations), this method is less affected by environmental factors and has a higher yield.
