The Influence of Various Etchants on the Quantitative Analysis of Microstructure of Mg-Nd Alloy

Abstract:

The paper presents the results of the influence of various etchants on the quantitative analysis of microstructure of Mg-Nd master alloy. The methodology of quantitative analysis of these alloys’ microstructure were also presented. Qualitative analysis were done using light and scanning electron microscopes, chemical composition was investigated using EDS method. Seven types of etchants were used. Having chosen suitable images, quantitative analysis were done using Met-Ilo program. Comparison of results showed that chosen etchants didn’t make the significant influence on the quantitative analysis results of the microstructure, despite visible dissimilarities.
