Summary Experiment Objective: The objective of this experiment was to conduct a comprehensive metallographic analysis of various metal samples, including pure metals, solid solution alloys, steels, and cast irons. Through precise sample preparation techniques involving mounting, grinding, polishing, and etching, we aimed to uncover and document the internal microstructure of these materials. By using metallographic microscopes, we examined the samples at both low and high magnifications, enabling the identification of different phases and the construction of each metal. Additionally, we sought to estimate grain sizes and examine the relationship between microstructure and material properties. Results and Conclusions: Our examination of the microstructures yielded valuable insights into the nature of the metal samples. We identified distinct phases within each material, such as ferrite and pearlite, depending on the sample type. This analysis allowed us to draw connections between microstructure and material properties. Notably, we observed that variations in composition and carbon content influenced the microstructure, which in turn affected properties like hardness, tensile strength, and ductility. Additionally, the successful identification of an unknown sample through microstructural analysis showcased the practical applications of metallography in materials science and engineering. 2. Results and Observations 2.1 Record the etching response time for each sample in the table provided Sample Etch Response Time (Seconds) SAE 1020 10-20s SAE 1045 10-20s SAE 1080 13s Iron Ingot 25s 2.2 Attach the micrographs of the four samples in the space provided. Indicate the magnification and label all phases present. Record additional observation in the space provided (e.g., differences between the microstructure of these samples).
