Difficulty in sample preparation: very soft, easy to cause scratches; ;easy to cause scratches; very thin, easy to over-grind.
Customer goal: After corrosion, the grain boundary is clearly visible.。
0.1mmthick copper foil is pasted with wax Grinded sample
Pure copper foil after corrosion 200X 200X
*The above pictures may not be reproduced without permission, otherwise legal liability will be pursued.
Fixing:
Truer hot melt wax stick Hot melt wax can be melted after heating and the sample can be easily removed. Image
* After the standard sample is heated in the oven at 70 degrees, take it out, apply the hot melt wax stick evenly on the standard sample, place the copper foil, and fix it firmly after the sample cools down.
