Quantification Of Steels And Alloys Using A Dual Source Multidetector System On SEM


The accurate and precise analysis of steels and alloys is essential for understanding their mechanical and thermal properties. Such materials often have a wide range of elements at various concentrations down to trace ppm levels. Accordingly, it is not possible to determine the concentrations of all elements with a standard scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an energy dispersive spectromete... » read more
