Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of metal material engineering technology, and specifically relates to a sample holder for measuring micro Vickers hardness. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of C curve determination of steel by using a full-automatic phase change instrument, metallographic microstructure analysis and microhardness determination of different organizations are often needed to assist in drawing the curve. The sample used by the phase change instrument is a cylindrical sample. Because the sample is too small, the sample is clamped by a clamp and then ground. However, when the sample is immersed and etched, the etchant and the gap between the clamp and the metal sample tend to accumulate. When the sample is placed under an inverted microscope for observation, the liquid in the gap seeps out, making it difficult to find a clean observation field on the already small observation section. Therefore, the sample needs to be removed from the clamp, and the microstructure morphology is observed first, and then the micro Vickers hardness of the sample is determined. When the micro Vickers hardness is determined, the sample observation section is placed upward, and the sample opening surface is placed downward on the hardness tester loading table. Because the contact surface between the sample and the hardness tester workbench is very small, when the measurement position is located at the edge of the sample, the sample is easy to tilt or even fall under the action of a certain load, causing measurement deviation.
[0003] Patent No. (CN 109855998 A) discloses a sample preparation device for micro Vickers hardness analysis. This device needs to put the sample into the base for hot embedding, and then directly measure. This device will contaminate the surface of the prepared metallographic sample during operation, and is not suitable for the already ground metallographic sample.
[0004] Patent No. (CN203949824U) discloses a universal clamp for micro Vickers hardness tester. Four positioning clamping legs pass through the positioning hole to fix the measured sample in the cavity. The positioning clamping legs need to have enough contact surface with the measured sample to fix the sample firmly. This clamp is not suitable for small diameter cylindrical metallographic samples.
[0005] Patent No. (CN 115452519 A) discloses a method for preparing a micro Vickers hardness sample. The sample is treated by cold embedding and hot embedding. The operation is relatively complicated. Moreover, the embedding agent and the metal sample have different hardness, and after grinding, a very small gap is formed between the sample and the embedding resin. After etching, the etching liquid cannot be avoided to enter, resulting in contamination of the sample detection surface, which is not conducive to micro observation and measurement.
[0006] In view of the above factors, a sample holder for measuring micro Vickers hardness is provided, which is suitable for micro Vickers hardness detection of full-automatic phase change instrument samples, has simple structure, reasonable design, and improves the accuracy of micro Vickers hardness measurement.
