Electrolytic lapping technique for vanadium

OSTI ID:6637811
An electrolytic lapping technique has been developed for vanadium, to take advantage of the many benefits this technique has already offered with other metals. Vanadium is particularly susceptible to surface smearing and embedment of particulate material during mechanical grinding and polishing; both of these problems are eliminated by electrolytic lapping. In addition, the technique has proven sufficiently reproducible to greatly facilitate preparation of large quantities of specimens. The use of electrolytic lapping also was a critical factor in the development of an etching technique which clearly delineates a wide range of deformation structures in vanadium. Examples of the application of this technique are presented from a study of the recrystallization of vanadium. Another equally important application of electrolytic lapping is the preparation of specimens for surface analytical techniques.
