Abstract:Analyses of small concentrations of light elements by electron microprobe are complicated by a number of factors, including low signal strength and line overlap. Obtaining reliable data may require techniques that are uncommon in wavelength-dispersive (WDS) x-ray analysis. A case in point is the investigation of alloys that contain small amounts of nitrogen. Nitridation of Al metal and Al alloys with N-bearing gaseous species is being studied as a way to form in situ nitride precipitates, which is of interest … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
