Abstract

This work presents a method to improve visualisation of metallographic structures in titanium containing alloys. After conventional selective chemical etching with Kroll’s reagent, the surface of the sample specimen is manually dyed with a phtalocyanine based lacquer. The results are highly detailed and sharp coloured images when investigated with Optical Microscopy, providing much more information compared to the grey shaded, etching only approach.

Kurzfassung

Diese Arbeit stellt ein Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Visualisierung metallographischer Strukturen in titanhaltigen Legierungen vor. Die Oberfläche wurde nach konventionellem Verfahren selektiv chemisch mit Ätzmittel nach Kroll geätzt und danach manuell mit einem Lack auf Phthalocyanin-Basis eingefärbt. Bei einer Untersuchung am Lichtmikroskop ergeben sich äußerst detailreiche und scharfe farbige Bilder, die, verglichen zu alleinigem Ätzen, bei dem lediglich Grauschattierungen hervorgebracht werden, wesentlich mehr Informationen liefern.
