“…X-ray spectrometric methods have been described for the determination of C in steel with a microprobe (168,340), in austenitic stainless steels with up to 0.3% C (332), but with poor precision, and in cast iron (412). In the last reference, Compton scattering of X-rays emitted with a Cr target X-ray tube produced sufficient intensities for the determination of carbon.…”
