Materials Analysis and Problem Solving with an Electron Microprobe
By: G.W. Kagel
Abstract
This paper describes how electron microprobe analysis has been used effectively in industrial materials problem solving.
Three case studies are briefly presented to illustrate how the unique capabilities of the electron microprobe were used to
solve each problem quickly and cost effectively. These examples illustrate how a methodical approach to problem solving,
microchemical analyses, and collaboration in a cross-functional team have led to rapid identification of root cause, and
successful recovery from difficult situations. Finally, guidelines are offered on some points to consider when facing problems
with materials or processes.
