Back Preparation of A1 Alloy Samples for Transmission Electron Microscopy

Fiscal Year 2015
Division Graduate School of Engineering & Applied Science
Department Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering
Investigator(s) Menon, Sarath K.
Sponsor Naval Surface Warfare Center-Carderock Division (Navy)
Summary This project will produce 10-15 samples suitable for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) from aluminum alloys. Specimen of Aluminum alloys will be provided by NSWCCD. We will use disk punching, grinding, and electro-polishing techniques to produce the foils. The FEI Osiris Transmission Electron Microscope will be used to verify the electron transparency and overall quality of the foils. The prepared TEM foils will be sent back to Dr. Kim Tran at NSWCD for detailed TEM analysis.
