High Resolution Auger Spectroscopy in Metallurgy: an Advanced Technique for Surface Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
A brief review of the high spatial resolution Auger electron spectroscopy (HRAES) and its usage in metallurgy is presented. A combination of HRAES and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy makes a powerful combination to resolve a large number of problems encountered in metallurgy. Several selected examples of such problems studied in the authors’ laboratory are presented: influence of surface active impurities on the surface properties and structure, chemical composition of nano-scaled inclusions, homogeneity of oxide layers formed by decarburization, chemical composition of interand intra-grain surfaces obtained by fracture in vacuum and interfacial study of 19Cr-13Ni austenitic stainless steel after treatment at elevated temperatures.

متن کاملThe Potentiodynamic Behavior of Copper in NaCI Solutions Studied by Auger and Photoelectron Spectroscopy
The potentiodynamic behaviour of copper in brine solutions was studies. Auger and photo-electron spectroscopy were used together with electrochemical methods. It is demostrated that the passivation observed in potentiodynamic curves is due to a surface film formation on a copper electrode. It is concluded that this film must be copper (I) chloride in nature. Effect of different factors on poten...
متن کاملCorrosion at Sulphide Inclusions in Stainless Steel
Auger analysis was performed using a high resolution scanning auger electron microscope and auger electron spectroscopy. Elemental auger contour maps for corroded sulphide inclusions in stainless steel were presented. It was found that the copper enriched-manganese sulphide inclusions were uniformly corroded, which might be due to CU2S deposition on the surface of corroding inclusions. In contr...
