Background
The ultra-pure non-oriented cold rolled silicon steel is a silicon alloy steel with the carbon content of a finished product lower than 0.03 percent, and the thickness of the finished product is 0.2-0.7 mm. Due to the wide application to engines, motors and various electrical instruments, it is required to have low iron loss and high magnetic induction strength to improve the working efficiency. Research has shown that the size of non-metallic inclusions in non-oriented cold-rolled silicon steel has the greatest influence on magnetic properties, and particularly, fine inclusions not only have a pinning effect on the movement of domain walls, but also have the greatest influence on magnetic properties when the size of the inclusions is close to that of magnetic domains.
With the improvement of metallurgical technology, the interior of the finished non-oriented cold-rolled silicon steel is relatively pure, large-size nonmetallic inclusions can be well controlled, but fine micron-scale and submicron-scale nonmetallic inclusions are still difficult to find, and the three-dimensional appearance of the fine nonmetallic inclusions at different depths is difficult to observe in situ.
The traditional methods for characterizing nonmetallic inclusions are as follows: (1) a metallographic method: the metallographic method is simple to operate, but the common metallographic method only performs two-dimensional analysis on nonmetallic inclusions on the surface and cannot observe fine micrometer-level and submicron-level nonmetallic inclusions. (2) Transmission electron microscope + energy spectrometer analysis: the non-metallic inclusions can be clearly observed and the structure and the components of the non-metallic inclusions can be determined, but the transmission electron microscope has large magnification and small field of view, the non-metallic inclusions in the non-oriented cold-rolled silicon steel with purer steel quality are difficult to find by using extraction carbon reformation and ion thinning, and the sample preparation is more complex. (3) Scanning electron microscope + energy spectrometer analysis: after the sample is corroded, the appearance of the nonmetallic inclusion is analyzed, but the depth of the corroded sample cannot be well controlled, and only a few corroded nonmetallic inclusions on the surface can be observed. (4) Electrolysis, extraction and electron microscope observation: the advantages are that more comprehensive statistics and complete observation can be carried out, but the inclusion is not in the in-situ state, and the preparation of samples is more complicated. (5) Acid dissolution: the matrix is dissolved by using organic acid or inorganic acid to extract some corrosion-resistant nonmetallic inclusions, and the defect that a plurality of unstable inclusions are dissolved, so that the actual form of the inclusions cannot be comprehensively and accurately reflected.
