Micrograph 760 and full record
- Micrograph no
- 760
- Brief description
- Bi 60, Sn 40 (wt%)
- Keywords
- alloy
, bismuth, metal, tin - Categories
- Metal or alloy
- System
- Bi-Sn
- Composition
- Bi 60, Sn 40 (wt%)
- Standard codes
- Reaction
- Processing
- Small casting in alumina crucible - air cooled.
- Applications
- Educational alloy - low melting point allows easy and safe use for students.
- Sample preparation
- Standard polishing techniques.
- Technique
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in secondary electron imaging (SEI) mode
- Length bar
- 100 μm
- Further information
- The composition is near eutectic, and the cooperative growth into fine lamellae can be clearly seen. It is also clear that in some areas the lamellae were growing out of the image(the curved lines and dots), while in other the lamellae were almost within the plane of the image(nearly parallel lines).
