Applications and Significance of Metallurgical Microscopes
1. Material selection: There is a certain correspondence between the microstructure and properties of the material, based on which suitable materials can be selected.
2. Verification: Raw material verification and process verification
3 Sampling Inspection: The semi-finished product undergoes metallographic examination during the manufacturing process to ensure that the microstructure of the product meets the processing requirements of the next process.
Process evaluation: Determine and identify the qualification of the product process.
5. In service evaluation: Provide a basis for the reliability, reliability, and service life of in-service parts.
6 Failure analysis: Identify process and material defects, providing macro and micro analysis basis for the analysis of failure causes.
7 Research Methods: Provide important basis for adjusting research direction and process.
The role of metallography
Research on Steel Heat Treatment Process: The principle of steel heat treatment is based on the phase transformation of steel during heating and cooling processes, and metallographic technology is an important experimental method for phase transformation research.
The development of shape memory alloys: Shape memory alloys were also discovered through metallographic analysis.
Quality control of products: every link in the production process, from the acceptance of raw materials, control of processing technology, to the evaluation of semi-finished and finished product quality.
4 Failure analysis: Mechanical equipment and parts are difficult to completely avoid failures in the form of deformation, fracture, wear, and corrosion during use. Metallographic examination is used to identify the causes and take preventive measures.
5. Accident analysis: The application of fire accident analysis and evidence in the field of fire cause identification has good repeatability, comparability, and intuitiveness.
Application fields of metallographic microscope
Metallographic examination of ferrous metals, metallographic examination of non-ferrous metals, metallographic examination of powder metallurgy, identification and evaluation of microstructure after material surface treatment.
