In a previous study, we demonstrated the formation of 4-chloraniline (PCA) in the precipitate in an amount directly related to the concentration of NaOCl used. AIMS AND METHODS The aim of the present study was to use a diazotization technique to confirm the presence o...

Precipitates of the ordered L12 ’ phase (dispersed in the face-centered cubic or FCC  matrix) were imaged in Rene 88 DT, a commercial multicomponent Ni-based superalloy, using energy filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM). Imaging was performed using the Cr, Co, Ni, Ti and Al elemental L-edges in the energy loss spectrum. Manual and automated segmentation procedures were utilized f...
