The invention relates to the technical field of cuprous
oxide particle testing, and discloses a method for characterizing cuprous
oxide particles in a fine
copper wire, which comprises the following steps: S1, fixing the fine
copper wire on a
copper sheet by using conductive
silver paste, putting the copper sheet into a
silica gel square mold, filling a metallographic phase cold inlay, and standing for 30 minutes to obtain a cured sample; s2, putting the cured sample obtained in the step S1 into a cross section
cutting sample table of a three-
ion-beam
cutting instrument, selecting a cross section mode, setting
ion gun
voltage and
ion beam
cutting time, and starting a cutting program; and S3, transferring the sample obtained in the step S2 into a
scanning electron microscope, selecting an
electron channel
contrast imaging mode, and setting
acceleration voltage, current, working distance and
magnification times to obtain a high-resolution
scanning electron microscope image of the cross section of the fine
copper wire. And key information such as the size, the morphology and the distribution condition of cuprous
oxide particles and the
interface bonding condition of the cuprous oxide particles and a
copper matrix is obtained from the cuprous oxide particles. Therefore, a basis is provided for formulating a reasonable fine
copper wire drawing process and a
bus continuous casting and rolling process.
