Metals and Alloys Analysis | EPMA, SIMS & APT Applications
Explore how EPMA, SIMS, and APT techniques reveal defects, grain boundaries, hydrogen embrittlement, and oxide formation in metals and alloys.
To fully understand and improve the properties of materials, it is necessary to understand their structure and composition at a variety of spatial length scales. Bulk compositions vary on millimeter length scales; grain boundary segregation occurs on the micrometer scale (one part in a million meters); and precipitation and clustering occur on the nanometer scale (one part in a billion meters).
Based on specific application examples, this brochure gives insight into how Electron Probe Microanalysis, Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, and Atom Probe Tomography are used by scientists & engineers for metallic materials research and for the development and optimization of innovative alloys:
- Defects in Steel
- Hydrogen Embrittlement Investigation
- Oxide Formation at the Surface of Metals
- Grain Boundary Analysis
- Hydrogen Storage Alloys
