Experimental and ZAF Correction Aspects of Carbon Analysis in Steels: Application to the Carburization of Irradiated Uranium-Plutonium Carbide Fuel Pin Claddings

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Mikrochimica Acta ((MIKROCHIMICA,volume 10))

Abstract

The quantitative carbon analysis in steels by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) has been on debate for more than one decade when the ZAF correction procedure was extended to the light element analysis with material data becoming available at that time. The conditions for a reliable analysis are a hydrocarbon low vacuum in the electron optical column of the instrument, a qualified sample preparation, selected standards similar in composition to the target and a well-developed ZAF correction computer programme.
