Abstract

An apparatus based on X-ray microfluorescence has been developed at IRSID in order to routinely and quantitatively determine the state of segregation in steels. The equipment consists principally of an iron anticathode X-Ray tube, a Si(Li) energy - dispersive detector and a “on the fly” operation in a multi-scale analysis mode. The acquisition of a chromium or manganese mapping in a (150 × 150 mm2) steel sample is possible over a total time of about one hour. The calibration curves for chromium or manganese are linear for the usual compositions of steels between 0.3% to 3%.
