The electron microprobe, since its inception by Castaing and Guinier, 1 has been the
method par excellence for inclusion analysis. With the microprobe, the in situ analysis of …

Each stage in the analysis of inclusions by electron probe microanalysis is evaluated. These
stages include experimental design and instrument operation, specimen preparation …

A strictly localized chemical analysis can often provide extremely useful information for many
scientific and technological problems. A localized and usually nondestructive analysis can …

In recent years the applications of the electron microscope to the study of carbides and non-
metallic inclusions in steel, have greatly increased as the result of the development of the …

An improved extraction method for analyzing inclusions in the microprobe or scanning
electron microscope (SEM) has been developed using a plastic extraction medium …

At the time of the advent of the electron probe microanalyzer, this instrument was considered
primarily a tool for metallurgical research (l, 2). Since then the domain of its application has …

Direct identification of the components of inclusions and precipitates can be performed with
the aid of the electron probe micro-analyzer. Although the method is restrictive as to …

This paper describes the use of a modified Coulter Counter to extend upward the diameter
range over which the size distribution of oxide inclusions in plain carbon steels can be …

Electron microprobe analysi s can be applied to the study of microconstituents in high-speed
steel. In situ analyses were made in alloy carbides and manganese sulfid e inclusions …
