In materials science, metal quality testing, failure analysis, etc., the golden optic microscope is a micro-organisation of observation materials."Eyes."Whether the size of the crystal grain in the steel is in the form of the crystal line, the distribution of the second phase particles in the aluminium alloy, or the gas hole and crystal structure in the ceramics, the sample will need to be prepared as a mirror for the surface level, scratch and non-deformed layer to obtain a real and clear image under the microscope.
A perfect gold sample, usually passing through.The sampled twirl is coarse and corrosive.Seven steps. Many beginners tend to focus on grinding and corrosion, while ignoring the importance of polishing -- especially the value of the plume. In fact, the front-dove sandpaper grinding leaves a visible face on the surface of the specimen.Plastic deformation layerIt can be as thick as a few micrometers to a few dozen micrometres. If this layer of deformation is not completely removed, it's under the microscope."Organizations"It may be a distorted illusion, and the EBSD test is more likely to be a surface-resilient one that does not allow the exact chrysanthemum to be mapped.
The mission of the finest is to remove the layer of transformation in the most mild way, without introducing new scratches. In many of the finest materials,Aluminum oxide suspended plumeThis paper presents the above-mentioned SeaFuyun Testing Technologies.Fuyun OSP Aluminium Oxygen suspension photoplasm (1 μm 500ml)For a physical sample, give you a full picture of what's common in this lab."Mirror craftsman"。
Got a bottle of Fuyun OSP Aluminium Oxygen suspension, first one of the eyes.Cylinder Transparent Plastic BottleThe bottle is round and the line is simple. The bottle is filled withMilky white, non-transparent liquidThis is the typical appearance of the aluminum oxide micro-particle being evenly distributed in the water-based medium - the more evenly the liquid is milked, the better the particle is dispersed; if a visible layer or bottom sediment mass is present, the indication of a stable suspension system needs to be sufficiently smoothed and reused.
Bottles and caps:The bottles use transparent polypropylene (PP) materials, and the bottle base emulator is marked with a triangle recovery mark (introduced number)"5", or PP material code, with good chemical stability and resilience, suitable for long-term storage of water-based polish. The bottlecap isWhite vertebraeThe bottle is designed to be low-speed, liquid flow is controlled and is not easily splattered.
Label design:The bottle label is designed to be split by a slant of silver ash and red, with clear information:
Overall, this 500ml is the product that is located in theStandardized daily laboratory usageThe standard specifications of the gold phase laboratories are not to cause a decrease in the stability of the suspension after long-term storage due to overcapacity, nor to affect the progress of the experiment by frequent replenishment.



The type of Aluminium Oxide suspension is"OSP"This is...Oxide Suspension PolishingThe abbreviations (Oxoid suspension polishing) represent the water-based suspension of the plume line of the product series, which is grinding with the oxide (aluminium oxide). The OSP series covers various particle size specifications, with corresponding products from the cruder medium to nanoscale final ejection, and the user can choose flexibly according to the sampling phase and material characteristics.
Visible label"1 Micron"It's the core technical parameter of the product. 1 μm equals 1,000 nm, in the particle spectrum of gold polishing.Middle-slip transition zone:
Table
| Shine Phase | Common particle range | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Bold throw. | 6~40μm | Fast-track the rough scratches and level the surface. |
| Middle Throw | 1~6μm | Remove the slugs and make the transition to a sling. |
| Scratch | 0.05~1μm | Remove the deformation layer, get the mirror. |
| Super-show. | 0.02~0.05μm | EBSD, etc., special requirements non-resilient surfaces |
1 metre. Aluminium oxide suspension is in place.Mid-show and lean-show pointsIt has a certain material removal capability to carry the fine scratches left by the rough-brushing (usually 3-6 m) and does not introduce deeper new scratches like the thicker grains, which is a key step forward. For most steel, non-ferrous metal samples, a 1 mm aluminium oxide is polished and then a 0.05 m final throw is available, i.e., the mirrors that meet the high-value-phase observation requirements.
500ml is a standard laboratory-singled specification. With a conventional gold-phased automatic polisher, the single finer volume (approximately 5-10ml/samples, depending on the timing and the acceleration of the drop), estimates that a bottle of 500ml can meet the needs for a few dozen to a hundred samples, suitable for daily use in a laboratory with a medium sample. For a test body with a large sample, a larger industrial load can also be selected; for a small laboratory with an occasional sample, 500ml will be used to avoid the problem of suspension stability caused by long-term storage.
Aluminium oxide suspended aerosol, by definition, by the means ofMicropowder for Aluminium Oxyoxide (Al2O3)For the grinding, scattered in.Ionizing water.Media, withDispersive, stabilizer, surfactantA water-based suspended polishing system, which is a combination of additives.
Aluminium oxide has multiple crystals, among themα-Al203 (Golden Jade)It is the crystal type most suitable for use as polish. α-Al2O3 has the following characteristics:
The Fuyun OSP series uses finely pure α-Al2O3 micropowder, which is subject to strict particle-level and globalization, with narrow particle size distribution and near-spherical shapes, both ensuring cutting efficiency and reducing the deep scratches caused by sharp particles.
This product isWater-based suspensionThe advantage of the water-based system is:
The core of the technology for suspension is not the grinding itself, but the one that's going to beHow to keep the micro- and even nano-scale aluminum oxide particles in water in a stable and long-term situation, without reunification or sinkingAluminium oxide particles are larger than the surface area, and they are more likely to be reunified in water, forming large groups of particles that are like when they are polished."Sandpaper"The same is true of the deep scratches that are pulled out of the surface of the specimen, which seriously affect the quality of the polishing.
Fuyun OSP Series by ReassembleAnion-type dispersantandHigh-molecular stabilizersThe dual protection of double-storey exclusion and spatial position obstruction on the surface of aluminium oxide particles effectively prevents the reunification and deposition of particles. This is why the label is especially marked."Shake before use"(Pre-use smoulder) - Even with a stabilizer, the long-term static particles are naturally deposited, which, when smouldered, restore evenly dispersed conditions, ensuring consistent levels and particle size of the polish fluids used.
And when we get to know the ingredients, we see how the aluminum oxide suspension actually turns a scratched metal surface into a mirror. This process can be done byMacro, micro, nanoThree scales to understand.
On the gold-ray projector, the specimen is pressed on the rotating peddleboard, with a plating sheet on the surface of the peddle. The polishing fluid is dripped onto the pedestal, and the aluminium oxide particles in the liquid are held between the pedestal fibre and the specimen surface. As the peddle turns, the particles are smoother and rolling than the specimen surface, each of them is like a microbrush, with a very shallow cut on the sample surface.
Thousands of particles act at the same time, and they put a thin layer of material on the surface of the specimen."Cut"It's a process similar to sandpaper grinding, but the difference is that the sandpaper grinding is fixed on the base, cutting deep and scratching deep, and the grinding in the suspension isFree Scroll, with very shallow cutting depths and very thin scratches, and particles will change in a rolling position and will not be repeated at the same location.
When the frontal sandpaper is grinding, the strong pressure of the grain creates a serious plastic deformation on the surface of the specimen, forming a layer.Process Sclerator LayerandWrong-intended areaIt's called"Transform Layer"or"Disturbing layer"The micro-organism of this layer of material has been heavily distorted, not the true organization of the material.
The core task of aluminum oxide is to grind it much more in a way than to grind it.Take this layer of deformation down one level.1 m-1m Aluminium oxide particles are usually cut at a depth of submix, each polishing only removes a thin layer of material, and the new deforming layer is very shallow. After enough time, the old deep deformation layer is completely removed, and the new shallow deformation layer can be further eliminated by a final drop of more fine particles (e.g. 0.05 m), and eventually nears the non-modified real surface.
When the polishing takes place to the final stage, the scratches on the surface of the specimen are fine enough to be below the visible light wavelength (see figure).<400 nm) The eye-watch surface is mirrored.Surface leveling– By small plastic flows and material migration, the nanoscale of surfaces is evened to level, further reducing surface roughness. This is particularly critical for samples EBSD testing is required, because the EBSD requires surfaces to be less than 10 nm thick, which can only be met by a fine final throw.
Fuyun OSP Aluminium Oxide suspension is extremely common, in the Golden Photo Lab."A bottle of jar."Representative consumption material. The following is detailed by type of material:
Fuyun OSP Aluminium Oxide suspension series provides multiple particle size specifications, and the correct selection is a prerequisite for good polishing. The following are typical uses of the individual particle sizes:

Selective principles:
In order to provide a clearer understanding of the use of aluminum oxide suspension, a complete set of standard gold-phased sampling processes is given below, with a indication of the purpose and key parameters of each step:
Step 1: Sampling
Step 2: Embedded
Step 3: rough
Step four: sharpening
Step 5: Crude throw (suspension of diamonds)
Step 6: Medium sperm ejection (Aluminium oxide suspension - position of this product)
Step 7: End-of-life ejection (particle aluminium oxide or silicate dioxide)
Step 8: Purge and Dry
Step 9: Corrosion and observation
Many of the problems with the formulation in practice stem from irregularities. The following are the most important points to be noted when using Fuyun OSP Aluminium Oxide suspension:
This is the first hint clearly marked on the label, and is the most easily overlooked step. After the Aluminium Oxide suspension is stored, particles are deposited at the bottom of the bottle, creating an uneven state of upper and lower concentrations. If no direct dumping occurs, it may be a near-scattered water, with a much less polished effect; or a sudden surge of high concentrations of conjunctivated particles at the bottom, with a deep scratching on the surface of the specimen.
Correct practice:Wrestling the bottle cap, shaking up and down for 15-30 seconds, and observing that the liquid in the bottle is back to a smooth-white, non-observed sediment on the bottom, is then used. If the bottom of the long-term storage is hard sediment, the shaking cannot be dispersed, indicating that the product is obsolete or insufficiently stored, it is not recommended to continue.
Fibre types of polished sheet directly affect the polishing effect:
When using a fine-painted aluminum oxide, recommended♪ Cream or no bouquet ♪. After a period of time, the fibres are filled with aluminum oxide particles and metal chips, which are rendered inflexible and should be replaced in a timely manner. The polishing of different particles cannot be mixed, and the change of the particle size must be accompanied by a replacement of the polished sheet to prevent contamination with the remaining particles.
It is suggested that the standard parameter (15-25 N, 2~4 min) be fine-tuned to the material and sample state. For soft metals such as aluminium, copper, the pressure should be low (10~15 N) and short (1~2 min); for hard materials such as steel, the pressure may be slightly higher (20~30 N) and longer (3~5 min).
Aluminium oxide particles are high in hardness and small in particle size and are easily embedded in micro-pores, crystal lines or scratch marks on the surface of the specimen. If they are not thoroughly cleaned after polishing, these residues prevent the corrosor from coming into contact with the matrix during subsequent corrosion and forming."Hypocrisy."- Black spots or unusual areas seen under microscopes may be only residual aluminium oxide particles, not the material itself, or the second phase.
Correct cleaning process:The current water washes the tamper, and the tamper wipes the surface with a little bit of a little bit of acoustic cleaning."Clean with detergent solution"This is precisely what is happening.
Table
| Problem phenomena | Possible cause | Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| There's a regular deep scratch on the surface. | Pollutant fluids are unsmote and particles are reunited; or the polished canvas is contaminated with crude particles | Full smote; replacement of PV; check if the PV is expired |
| I'm not looking at you. | Insufficient polishing time, deformation layer not removed; or low PV concentration | Increases in polishing time; checks for twilight; increases in drop-acceleration |
| Soft metal surfaces."Drag"Traces. | Too long for PV fibre; too much pressure | Change for free cloth; lower pressure |
| There's an unknown black spot under the microscope. | Aluminium oxide particulate residues; or corrosive products not washed | Enhance ultrasound cleaning; fully rinse after corrosion |
| It's on the surface after the polishing."- Psst!" | Hard impurities in the polish; or a pore in the sample itself | New phoenix replaced; pore samples can reduce the emptiness of the emptiness as appropriate |
| The effects of the same batch vary widely | Spray droplets mixed; or samples not parallel | Keep even drop-plus; check for sample load flatness |
The three main types of suspended polish are commonly used in gold-phase laboratories: diamond suspension, aluminium oxide suspension, and glue silican oxide. They have characteristics that apply to different stages and materials, not as substitutes for each other but as a combination of them.
In the actual sample, the most common is"Bold boulders of diamonds, aluminum oxide.", which is a three-part combination:
This combination combines efficiency (fructite fast) and quality (Aluminium oxide / Silicon oxide fine) and is the main process in the current gold phase. Fuyun OSP 1 metrem Aluminium oxide suspension is the key link in the process.
In unopened states, Fuyun OSP has a normal period of 12 months for aluminum oxide suspension. After opening, it is recommended that it be spent within 6 months. Products that exceed the shelf life may be combined by a dispersant degradation, even if their appearance does not change significantly, and should be tested in small quantities before being formally used.
A clear gold-shaped photo, with each step from sampling to corrosion carefully applied, is undoubtedly the most patient and technical link of the test. Fuyun OSP series of Aluminium Oxide suspensions, supported by high-purity α-Al2O3 as a grinding material, a stable water-based suspension system, and a complete particle gradient from the end of the rough nanometer class, provide a reliable source for material research and detection personnel."Mirror engraving knife"。
This paper is based on the example of Fuyun OSP Aluminium Oxide suspensions of 1 mm, 500 ml, and is read in a comprehensive manner from product appearance, core parameters, distribution, polishing, applied materials, particle size, standard processes, physical points, and similar comparisons to storage security. It is hoped that it will help laboratory technicians, material students and scientists to understand this common resource in greater depth, and to make scientific selections, normative operations in their daily samples less successful and more accurate and reliable micro-observation.
Just as gold phase samples require a step-by-step grinding and polishing, material science advances are also indispensable to these seemingly ordinary base-use materials. Fuyun Testing Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a professional supplier of domestic gold phase samples, its OSP Aluminium Oxide suspension products have become a daily choice for many higher education institutions, research institutes, and third-party testing institutions, contributing to China’s micro-scientific exploration of materials.
