    Ex. No.: Date: Identification of Copper Alloys

    Uploaded by

    Deepak Misra
    This document outlines a procedure to identify copper alloys using metallographic examination under a microscope. The procedure involves properly preparing and mounting a metal specimen, using the correct microscope lenses and light source to view the specimen, and comparing the viewed image to charts to identify the alloy. Common copper alloys like pure copper, brass, and bronze are then examined using this procedure and their distinguishing microstructures are described.

    IDENTIFICATION OF COPPER ALLOYS

    Aim:
    To identity the given mounted specimen by metallographic examination.

    Apparatus required:

    Grinding machine, double disc polishing machine, emery papers, and


    Triocular microscope.

    Etchant used ……………………………………….

    Procedure:

    1. The properly prepared metal specimen is kept under the metallurgical


    microscope on the specimen table.
    2. The objective and eye-piece are chosen properly to get the required
    magnification.
    3. The source light is switched on.
    4. The metal specimen is focused by adjusting draw tube using coarse and fine
    adjustment screws.
    5. The metal is identified by viewing through the microscope and is compared
    with the available charts.
    6. If the image is not clear choose the next objectives lens and repeat the entire
    procedure from step 4, till we get correct image.

    Pre Lab Questions:

    1. How brass differs from bronze based on composition?

    2. Mention few applications of copper alloys.
