Scope

GB/T 4296-2022 is the English-translated version of 变形镁合金显微组织检验方法.

GB/T 4296-2022 is the Chinese national method for examining the microstructure of a wrought magnesium alloy. It gives the etching solutions, the preparation of the specimen, its etching, the examination of the structure itself and the determination of the grain size, together with the content of the test report.

It applies to the microstructure examination of wrought magnesium alloy ingots and of the products made from them, the check that tells whether the working and the heat treatment have done what they should.

Magnesium mills and their metallographic laboratories use it. It replaces GB/T 4296-2004, was issued on 9 March 2022 and has applied since 1 October 2022.

Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for Standardization Work Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" drafted.

This document replaces GB/T 4296-2004 "Microstructure Inspection Method of Wrought Magnesium Alloys". Compared with GB/T 4296-2004, except for In addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.

a) The terms and definitions of "grain size" and "G value" are deleted (see Chapter 2 of the.2004 edition);

b) Added the types of etchants (see Table 1);

c) Added the applicable test for etchants (see Table 2);

d) The requirements for the inspection surface of the sample are added (see 5.3);

e) The requirements for specimen polishing have been added (see 5.6);

f) Changed the requirements for rough throwing (see 5.7.1, 3.5.1 of the.2004 edition);

g) Changed the requirements for fine throwing (see 5.7.2, 3.5.2 of the.2004 edition);

h) Changed the requirements for fine polishing (see 5.7.3, 3.5.3 of the.2004 edition);

i) Added optical microstructure pictures of typical products (see 7.2);

j) Added scanning electron microscope tissue observation pictures (see 7.3).
