[0026] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present invention provides a hand-held fixture for a block-shaped metallographic specimen, comprising:

[0027] A cylinder body 1, the cylinder body 1 includes an inner layer and an outer layer, the hardness of the inner layer is greater than that of the outer layer, and a first fastener 2 is arranged on the outer wall of the cylinder body 1, and the first fastener 2 can extend into the inside of the cylinder body 1 and clamp the metallographic specimen 3 located inside the cylinder body 1;

[0029] Specifically, to solve the problem that in the prior art, when the block-shaped metallographic specimen 3 is polished, the edge of the metallographic specimen 3 is easily rounded, destroying the morphological characteristics of the defect at the original edge position; the handheld fixture for the block-shaped metallographic specimen provided by the present utility model can accommodate the block-shaped metallographic specimen 3 inside the cylinder body 1. After the metallographic specimen 3 is placed inside the cylinder body 1, the first fastener 2 can extend into the inside of the cylinder body 1 to clamp and fix the metallographic test along the radial direction of the cylinder body 1. Then, the second fastener 5 on the cover plate 4 extends into the inside of the cylinder body 1 to also clamp the metallographic specimen 3 along the axial direction of the cylinder body 1, ensuring a stable and firm clamping effect, and improving the stability and polishing quality of the metallographic specimen 3 during the polishing process; during the polishing process, the metallographic specimen 3 is polished and polished in sequence through metallographic polishing. During the polishing process, the cylinder body 1 and the metallographic specimen 3 are polished together. The hardness of the inner layer of the cylinder body 1 is greater than that of the outer layer, and the hardness of the outer layer is relatively small and easy to polish, which can improve the polishing efficiency. The hardness of the inner layer is relatively hard. For the metallographic specimen 3 with defects at the edge, when clamping, the defective side of the metallographic specimen 3 is in contact with the inner wall of the inner layer, and the relatively hard inner layer is used to protect the defects at the edge, avoiding the situation that the positions with defects at the edge are rounded.

[0030] Optionally, the cylinder body 1 is cylindrical.

[0031] Specifically, when the axis of the cylinder body 1 is vertical, the two end faces of the cylindrical cylinder body 1 are respectively arranged along two horizontal planes.

[0032] Optionally, the material of the inner layer is high-carbon steel, and the material of the outer layer is low-carbon steel.

[0033] Specifically, the inner layer is made of relatively hard high-carbon steel material to ensure its protection effect on the metallographic specimen 3, and the outer layer is made of relatively soft low-carbon steel material to ensure better polishing efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, the inner layer and the outer layer can be integrally connected or connected by welding.

[0035] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the cylinder body 1 is less than 40 mm, the wall thickness is greater than 5 mm, and the height is less than 40 mm. The overall volume of this fixture is small, easy to hold and move, and convenient to operate.

[0036] Optionally, at least two layers of first threaded holes are provided on the outer wall of the cylinder body 1, and each layer of first threaded holes is evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the cylinder body 1.

[0037] Specifically, the first threaded holes are arranged in layers, and the adjacent two layers of first threaded holes are spaced apart. Each layer of first threaded holes has at least three, and they are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the cylinder body 1. The axis of each first threaded hole is along the radial direction of the cylinder body 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, four first threaded holes are provided in each layer, and the axes of the four first threaded holes are arranged in a cross shape.

[0039] Optionally, the first fastener 2 is a first bolt threadably matched with the first threaded hole.

[0040] Specifically, the first thread is used as the first fastener 2, and the first bolt is screwed to extend into the interior of the cylinder 1, so that the irregularly shaped block metallographic sample 3 can be clamped and can be clamped at any desired fixed position.

[0041] Optionally, the cover plate 4 is welded to the inner layer.

[0042] Specifically, the cover plate 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cylinder 1 , and the cover plate 4 supports the second fastener 5 , and the metallographic sample 3 is further tightened and positioned through the second fastener 5 .

[0043] Optionally, the cover plate 4 is provided with a plurality of second threaded holes, and the plurality of second threaded holes are radially arranged on the cover plate 4 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the plurality of second threaded holes are arranged in a cross shape, and correspond in orientation to the first threaded holes arranged in the cross shape.

[0045] Optionally, the second fastener 5 is a second bolt threadably matched with the second threaded hole.

[0046] Specifically, the second thread is used as the second fastener 5, and the second bolt is screwed to extend toward the inside of the cylinder 1, so as to support the metallographic sample 3 and improve the stability during grinding.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second bolt is a hexagonal head bolt.

[0048] Optionally, a receiving cavity is formed between a side surface of the cover plate 4 close to the operating end of the second bolt and an end surface of the cylinder 1 , and the receiving cavity is used to receive the operating end of the second bolt.

[0049] Specifically, the arrangement of the accommodating cavity can accommodate the operating end of the second bolt, so that the operating end of the second bolt is not exposed and does not protrude from the end surface of the cylinder 1. In this way, when the handheld clamp holding the block metallographic sample 3 is placed on a metallographic microscope for observation, it is convenient for overall positioning.

[0050] In this embodiment, the distance between the cover plate 4 and the end surface of the cylinder body 1 is at least 5 mm.

[0052] Specifically, a butterfly nut 6 is provided at the outer end of the first bolt to facilitate manual tightening to clamp the metallographic sample 3 .

[0053] In summary, when the handheld clamp of the block metallographic sample provided by the utility model is used, take a metallographic inspection of a block metallographic sample 3 with defects at the edge as an example: first, the metallographic sample 3 is placed in the cylinder 1, so that the defective side of the metallographic sample 3 is close to the inner wall of the inner layer of the cylinder 1, so as to protect the edge of the metallographic sample 3; then adjust the first bolt to clamp the metallographic sample 3 along the radial direction of the cylinder 1; then adjust the second bolt to further tighten and position the metallographic sample 3 along the axial direction of the cylinder 1; then hold the handheld clamp of the block metallographic sample that clamps the metallographic sample 3 as a whole and grind and polish it in sequence on the metallographic grinder and polisher, during which the cylinder 1 and the metallographic sample 3 are polished together; finally, place the handheld clamp of the block metallographic sample that clamps the metallographic sample 3 as a whole on a metallographic microscope for observation and analysis; there is no need to disassemble the metallographic sample 3 during analysis, so as to avoid wasting time on grinding and polishing again.

[0054] The various embodiments of the utility model have been described above, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
