简介这些金属平均晶粒度测试方法根本上是测量过程。
因为这一过程完全是独立于金属及其合金材料的几何学问题。
实际上，这些基本方法也应用于评估非金属的平均晶粒、晶体及晶胞尺寸。
如果材料组织结构接近于标准对比图谱中的某一个图的话，可以采用对比法。
截距法和求积法也经常应用于确定平均晶粒度。
然而，对比法不能应用于单个晶粒的测量。

ASTME2平均晶粒尺寸测试方法
该标准方法主要基于显微组织观察和测量晶粒的直径或等效圆周。
以下是该方法的一般程序：
1.样品制备：从需要测试的金属材料中取出一个表面平坦、无明显缺陷的试样。
样品可以通过切割、抛光和腐蚀等步骤来制备。
2.显微组织取样：根据材料的特点和测试要求，采用适当的金相试样制备方法来获取显微组织试样。
通常情况下，制备出的试样应包含横截面的金相显微组织。
3.显微观察：将显微组织试样放置在金相显微镜下进行观察。
选择适当的放大倍率和透光方法，以获得清晰、充分的晶界图像。
4.晶粒测量：使用合适的测量工具（如尺子、比例尺或图像分析软件等）对试样中的晶粒进行测量。
根据需要，可以直接测量晶粒的直径或等效圆周。
5.数据分析：根据测量得到的晶粒尺寸数据，计算出平均晶粒尺寸。
可以采用不同方法，如线性拟合、区域平均或统计分析等来计算平均值。
需要注意的是，ASTME112并未指定具体的测量设备和测量方法。
而且，该方法只提供了一种常用的晶粒尺寸测试方法，不同的材料和实验要求可能需要采用不同的方法和测量标准。
Designation:E112–96(Reapproved2004)e2Standard Test Methods forDetermining Average Grain Size1This standard is issued under thefixed designation E112;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.e1N OTE—Reference(2)was editorially corrected in May2006.e2N OTE—Equation A1.9was editorially corrected in November2006.INTRODUCTIONThese test methods of determination of average grain size in metallic materials are primarily measuring procedures and,because of their purely geometric basis,are independent of the metal or alloy concerned.In fact,the basic procedures may also be used for the estimation of average grain, crystal,or cell size in nonmetallic materials.The comparison method may be used if the structure of the material approaches the appearance of one of the standard comparison charts.The intercept and planimetric methods are always applicable for determining average grain size.However,the comparison charts cannot be used for measurement of individual grains.1.Scope1.1These test methods cover the measurement of average grain size and include the comparison procedure,the planimet-ric(or Jeffries)procedure,and the intercept procedures.These test methods may also be applied to nonmetallic materials with structures having appearances similar to those of the metallic structures shown in the comparison charts.These test methods apply chiefly to single phase grain structures but they can be applied to determine the average size of a particular type of grain structure in a multiphase or multiconstituent specimen.1.2These test methods are used to determine the average grain size of specimens with a unimodal distribution of grain areas,diameters,or intercept lengths.These distributions are approximately log normal.These test methods do not cover methods to characterize the nature of these distributions. Characterization of grain size in specimens with duplex grain size distributions is described in Test Methods E1181.Mea-surement of individual,very coarse grains in afine grained matrix is described in Test Methods E930.1.3These test methods deal only with determination of planar grain size,that is,characterization of the two-dimensional grain sections revealed by the sectioning plane. Determination of spatial grain size,that is,measurement of the size of the three-dimensional grains in the specimen volume,is beyond the scope of these test methods.1.4These test methods describe techniques performed manually using either a standard series of graded chart images for the comparison method or simple templates for the manual counting methods.Utilization of semi-automatic digitizing tablets or automatic image analyzers to measure grain size is described in Test Methods E1382.1.5These test methods deal only with the recommended test methods and nothing in them should be construed as defining or establishing limits of acceptability orfitness of purpose of the materials tested.1.6The measured values are stated in SI units,which are regarded as standard.Equivalent inch-pound values,when listed,are in parentheses and may be approximate.1.7This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.8The paragraphs appear in the following

average grain size of all metals consisting entirely,or principally,of a single phase.The test methods may also be used for any structures having appear-ances similar to those of the metallic structures shown in the comparison charts.The three basic procedures for grain size estimation are:4.1.1Comparison Procedure—The comparison procedure does not require counting of either grains,intercepts,or intersections but,as the name suggests,involves comparison of the grain structure to a series of graded images,either in the form of a wall chart,clear plastic overlays,or an eyepiece reticle.There appears to be a general bias in that comparison grain size ratings claim that the grain size is somewhat coarser (1⁄2to1G number lower)than it actually is(see X1.3.5). Repeatability and reproducibility of comparison chart ratings are generally61grain size number.4.1.2Planimetric Procedure—The planimetric method in-volves an actual count of the number of grains within a known area.The number of grains per unit area,N A,is used to determine the ASTM grain size number,G.The precision of the method is a function of the number of grains counted.A precision of60.25grain size units can be attained with a reasonable amount of effort.Results are free of bias and repeatability and reproducibility are less than60.5grain size units.An accurate count does require marking off of the grains as they are counted.4.1.3Intercept Procedure—The intercept method involves an actual count of the number of grains intercepted by a test line or the number of grain boundary intersections with a test line,per unit length of test line,used to calculate the mean lineal intercept length,,—.,—is used to determine the ASTM grain size number,G.The precision of the method is a function of the number of intercepts or intersections counted.A preci-sion of better than60.25grain size units can be attained with a reasonable amount of effort.Results are free of bias; repeatability and reproducibility are less than60.5grain size units.Because an accurate count can be made without need of marking off intercepts or intersections,the intercept method is faster than the planimetric method for the same level of precision.4.2For specimens consisting of equiaxed grains,the method of comparing the specimen with a standard chart is most convenient and is sufficiently accurate for most commer-cial purposes.For higher degrees of accuracy in determining average grain size,the intercept or planimetric procedures may be used.The intercept procedure is particularly useful for structures consisting of elongated grains.4.3In case of dispute,the intercept procedure shall be the referee procedure in all cases.4.4No attempt should be made to estimate the average grain size of heavily cold-worked material.Partially recrystallized wrought alloys and lightly to moderately cold-worked material may be considered as consisting of non-equiaxed grains,if a grain size measurement is necessary.4.5Individual grain measurements should not be made based on the standard comparison charts.These charts were constructed to reflect the typical log-normal distribution of grain sizes that result when a plane is passed througha --`,,,````,,,`,``,,`````,```,`-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---three-dimensional array of grains.Because they show a distri-bution of grain dimensions,ranging from very small to very large,depending on the relationship of the planar section and the three-dimensional array of grains,the charts are not applicable to measurement of individual grains.5.Generalities of Application5.1It is important,in using these test methods,to recognize that the estimation of average grain size is not a precise measurement.A metal structure is an aggregate of three-dimensional crystals of varying sizes and shapes.Even if all these crystals were identical in size and shape,the grain cross sections,produced by a random plane(surface of observation) through such a structure,would have a distribution of areas varying from a maximum value to zero,depending upon where the plane cuts each individual crystal.Clearly,no twofields of observation can be exactly the same.5.2The size and location of grains in a microstructure are normally completely random.No nominally random process of positioning a test pattern can improve this randomness,but random processes can yield poor representation by concentrat-ing measurements in part of a specimen.Representative implies that all parts of the specimen contribute to the result, not,as sometimes has been presumed,thatfields of average grain size are selected.Visual selection offields,or casting out of extreme measurements,may not falsify the average when done by unbiased experts,but will in all cases give a false impression of high precision.For representative sampling,the area of the specimen is mentally divided into several equal coherent sub-areas and stage positions prespecified,which are approximately at the center of each sub-area.The stage is successively set to each of these positions and the test pattern applied blindly,that is,with the light out,the shutter closed,or the eye turned away.No touch-up of the position so selected is allowable.Only measurements made onfields chosen in this way can be validated with respect to precision and bias.6.Sampling6.1Specimens should be selected to represent average conditions within a heat lot,treatment lot,or product,or to assess variations anticipated across or along a product or component,depending on the nature of the material being tested and the purpose of the study.Sampling location and frequency should be based upon agreements between the manufacturers and the users.6.2Specimens should not be taken from areas affected by shearing,burning,or other processes that will alter the grain structure.7.Test Specimens7.1In general,if the grain structure is equiaxed,any specimen orientation is acceptable.However,the presence of an equiaxed grain structure in a wrought specimen can only be determined by examination of a plane of polish parallel to the deformation axis.7.2If the grain structure on a longitudinally oriented speci-men is equiaxed,then grain size measurements on this plane,or any other,will be equivalent within the statistical precision of the test method.If the grain structure is not equiaxed,but elongated,then grain size measurements on specimens with different orientations will vary.In this case,the grain size should be evaluated on at least two of the three principle planes,transverse,longitudinal,and planar(or radial and transverse for round bar)and averaged as described in Section 16to obtain the mean grain size.If directed test lines are used, rather than test circles,intercept counts on non-equiaxed grains in plate or sheet type specimens can be made using only two principle test planes,rather than all three as required for the planimetric method.7.3The surface to be polished should be large enough in area to permit measurement of at leastfivefields at the desired magnification.In most cases,except for thin sheet or wire specimens,a minimum polished surface area of160mm2(0.25 in.2)is adequate.7.4The specimen shall be sectioned,mounted(if neces-sary),ground,and polished according to the recommended procedures in Practice E3.The specimen shall be etched using a reagent,such as listed in Practice E407,to delineate most,or all,of the grain boundaries(see also Annex A3).8.Calibration8.1Use a stage micrometer to determine the true linear magnification for each objective,eyepiece and bellows,or zoom setting to be used within62%.8.2Use a ruler with a millimetre scale to determine the actual length of straight test lines or the diameter of test circles used as grids.9.Preparation of Photomicrographs9.1When photomicrographs are used for estimating the average grain size,they shall be prepared in accordance with Guide E883.parison Procedure10.1The comparison procedure shall apply to completely recrystallized or cast materials with equiaxed grains.10.2When grain size estimations are made by the more convenient comparison method,repeated checks by individuals as well as by interlaboratory tests have shown that unless the TABLE1Suggested Comparison Charts for Metallic Materials N OTE1—These suggestions are based upon the customary practices in industry.For specimens prepared according to special techniques,the appropriate comparison standards should be selected on a structural-appearance basis in accordance

etch,use Plate III.N OTE 1—Examples of grain-size standards from Plates I,II,III,and IV are shown in Fig.1,Fig.2,Fig.3,and Fig.4.10.4The estimation of microscopically-determined grain size should usually be made by direct comparison at the same magnification as the appropriate chart.Accomplish this by comparing a projected image or a photomicrograph of a representative field of the test specimen with the photomicro-graphs of the appropriate standard grain-size series,or with suitable reproductions or transparencies of them,and select thephotomicrograph which most nearly matches the image of the test specimen or interpolate between two standards.Report this estimated grain size as the ASTM grain size number,or grain diameter,of the chart picture that most closely matches the image of the test specimen or as an interpolated value between two standard chart pictures.3Plates I,II,III,and IV are available from ASTM Headquarters.Order Adjunct:ADJE11201P (Plate I),ADJE11202P

the number and location in the specimen of representative sections and fields for estimating the characteristic or average grain size.It is not sufficient to visually select what appear to be areas of average grain size.Recommendations for choosing appropriate areas for all pro-cedures have been noted in 5.2.10.6Grain size estimations shall be made on three or more representative areas of each specimen section.10.7When the grains are of a size outside the range covered by the standard photographs,or when magnifications of 75X or 100X are not satisfactory,other magnifications may be em-ployed for comparison by using the relationships given in Note2and Table 2.It may be noted that alternative magnifications are usually simple multiples of the basic magnifications.N OTE 2—If the grain size is reported in ASTM numbers,it is conve-nient to use the relationship:Q 52log 2~M /M b !(2)56.64log 10~M /M b !where Q is a correction factor that is added to the apparent micro-grain size of the specimen,as viewed at the magnification,M ,instead of at the basic magnification,M b (75X or 100X),to yield the true ASTM grain-size number.Thus,for a magnification of 25X,the true ASTM grain-size number is four numbers lower than that of the corresponding photomi-crograph at 100X (Q =−4).Likewise,for 400X,the true ASTM grain-size number is four numbers higher (Q =+4)than that of the

the grains at the fine end make accurate comparison ratings difficult.When the specimen grain size falls at either end of the chart range,a more meaningful comparison can be made by changing the magnification so that the grain size lies closer to the center of the range.10.9The use of transparencies 4or prints of the standards,with the standard and the unknown placed adjacent to each other,is

obtain slightly different results,provided the different results fall within the confidence limits reasonably expected with the procedure used.10.11There is a possibility when an operator makes

comparison,at a magnification of 1X,of the properly prepared specimen,or of a photograph of a representative field of the specimen,with photographs of the standard grain series shown in Plate I (for untwinned material)and Plates II and III (for twinned mate-rial).Since the photographs of the standard grain size series were made at 75and 100diameters magnification,grain sizes estimated in this way

金属平均晶粒度测定方法引言本标准规定了金属材料平均晶粒度的基本方法。
由于纯粹以晶粒几何图形为基础，与金属和合金本身无关。
因此，这些基本方法也可以用来测量非金属材料中晶粒、晶体和晶胞的平均尺寸。
如果材料的组织形貌非常接近某一个标准系列评级图，可以使用比较法。
测定平均晶粒度常用比较法，也可以用截点法和面积法。
但是，比较法不能用来测量单个晶粒。
1范围1.1 本标准规定了金属组织的平均晶粒度表示及评定的三种方法——比较法、面积法和截点法。
这些方法也适用于晶粒组织形貌与标准系列评级图相似的非金属材料。
这些方法主要适用于单相晶粒组织，但也适用于多相或多组元试样中特定类型组织的晶粒平均尺寸的测量。
1.2 本标准使用晶粒面积、晶粒直径、截线长度的单峰分布来测定式样的平均晶粒度。
这些分布近似正态分布。
本标准的测定方法不适用于双峰分布的晶粒度。
双峰分布的晶粒度参见标准E1181。
测定分布在细小晶粒基体上个别非常粗大的晶粒的方法参见E 930。
1.3本标准的测量方法仅适用平面晶粒度的测量，也就是试样截面显示出的二维晶度；不适用于试样三维晶粒，即立体晶粒尺寸的测量。
1.4 试验可采用与一系列标准晶粒度图谱进行对比的方法或者在简单模板上进行计数的方法。
利用半自动计数仪或自动图象分析仪测定晶粒尺寸的方法参见E 1382。

简介这些金属平均晶粒度测试方法根本上是测量过程。
因为这一过程完全是独立于金属及其合金材料的几何学问题。
实际上，这些基本方法也应用于评估非金属的平均晶粒、晶体及晶胞尺寸。
如果材料组织结构接近于标准对比图谱中的某一个图的话，可以采用对比法。
截距法和求积法也经常应用于确定平均晶粒度。
然而，对比法不能应用于单个晶粒的测量。
