Glow Discharge Spectroscopy Application Snapshot: Quantitative Depth Profile analysis of thin oxide layer on polished stainless steel

ASTM E1009 is used to determine both accuracy and precision of a spectrometer using Certified Reference Materials with proven homogeneity and which have been established as satisfactory for calibration.

Phosphate coating is the treatment of steel with a dilute solution of phosphoric acid and other chemicals in which the surface of the metal is converted to an integral, mildly protective layer of insoluble crystalline phosphate.

We compare data generated on a LECO GDS using two different size lamps, to illustrate how each is equally capable of grade-specific analysis.

Aluminum-coated steel products have the benefits of enhanced corrosion resistance, bright metallic appearance, high heat reflectivity and electrical conductivity while retaining the formability of uncoated steel.

An operator can utilize a pseudo element to assist in obtaining the correct analytical result between two analytical wavelengths, or as a calculator for a carbon equivalent.

Fasteners such as bolts, screws, and rivets must meet various physical requirements as well as chemical compositional specifications.
