Abstract In this paper, AlSi10Mg alloy powder is selected as the forming powder of Selective Laser Melting technology, and the AlSi10Mg alloy SLM curved surface sample is constructed by setting the internal and external layering parameters. In view of the relatively rough surface roughness of SLM technology molded parts, this paper selects the magnetic finishing technology with higher flexibility characteristics to perform surface finishing and finishing on the formed curved surface samples. Explore the feasibility of magnetic finishing technology on the finishing of SLM shaped curved parts, and test and analyze the surface roughness, surface hardness and hydrophobicity of the finishing permanent magnet tools and the curved surface samples before and after finishing. Finally, it was found that the use of a 75° trapezoidal slotted permanent magnet finishing tool to absorb spherical Al2O3 magnetic abrasives for flexible finishing of AlSi10Mg alloy SLM shaped curved surface samples can achieve better finishing results.In this paper, the orthogonal experiment method is used to optimize the finishing experiment. It is found that the finishing parameters of the spindle speed is 1800 r/min, the feed rate is 5 mm/min, the gap is 2 mm, and the abrasive consumption is 7g to form the AlSi10Mg alloy SLM. The surface roughness Ra=0.279μm can be obtained by magnetic finishing of the curved sample, and the surface morphology of the sample has been greatly improved. At the same time, it is found that the magnetic finishing technology improves the surface roughness of the AlSi10Mg alloy SLM forming surface sample, while it does not change the surface hardness of the sample, but it can significantly improve the hydrophobicity of the sample surface.

In thermal oxidation studies, the structure of the oxide-metal interface and the near-surface region is of great importance. A technique has been developed for constructing cross-sectional samples of oxidized aluminum alloys, which reveal these regions. The specimen preparation procedure is as follows: An ultra-sonic drill is used to cut a 3mm diameter disc from a 1.0mm thick sheet of the material. The disc is mounted on a brass block with low-melting wax, and a 1.0mm hole is drilled in the disc using a #60 drill bit. The drill is positioned so that the edge of the hole is tangent to the center of the disc (Fig. 1) . The disc is removed from the mount and cleaned with acetone to remove any traces of wax. To remove the cold-worked layer from the surface of the hole, the disc is placed in a standard sample holder for a Tenupol electropolisher so that the hole is in the center of the area to be polished.

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) provides unique capabilities for elemental and molecular compositional analysis of a wide variety of surfaces. This relatively new technique is finding increasing applications in analyses concerned with determining the chemical composition of various polymer surfaces, identifying the composition of organic and inorganic residues on surfaces and the localization of molecular or structurally significant secondary ions signals from biological tissues. TOF-SIMS analyses are typically performed under low primary ion dose (static SIMS) conditions and hence the secondary ions formed often contain significant structural information.This paper will present an overview of current TOF-SIMS instrumentation with particular emphasis on the stigmatic imaging ion microscope developed in the authors’ laboratory. This discussion will be followed by a presentation of several useful applications of the technique for the characterization of polymer surfaces and biological tissues specimens. Particular attention in these applications will focus on how the analytical problem impacts the performance requirements of the mass spectrometer and vice-versa.

Oxygen-bearing minerals are generally strong insulators (e.g. silicates), or if not (e.g. transition metal oxides), they are included within a rock matrix which electrically isolates them from the sample holder contacts. In this respect, a thin carbon layer (150 Å in our laboratory) is evaporated on the sections in order to restore the conductivity. For silicates, overestimated oxygen concentrations are usually noted when transition metal oxides are used as standards. These trends corroborate the results of Bastin and Heijligers on MgO, Al2O3 and SiO2. According to our experiments, these errors are independent of the accelerating voltage used (fig.l).Owing to the low density of preexisting defects within the Al2O3 single-crystal, no significant charge buildup occurs under irradiation at low accelerating voltage (< 10keV). As a consequence, neither beam instabilities, due to electrical discharges within the excited volume, nor losses of energy for beam electrons before striking the sample, due to the presence of the electrostatic charge-induced potential, are noted : measurements from both coated and uncoated samples give comparable results which demonstrates that the carbon coating is not the cause of the observed errors.
