Title: Refracted x-ray fluorescence (RXF) applied to the study of thermally grown oxide scales

Conference ·
OSTI ID:436383

RXF is a new technique for studying thin films. Here, it is applied to study of thermally grown oxide scales. Evolution of chromia scales on Fe-25Cr-20Ni-0.3Y alloys and the evolution of alumina scales on {beta}-NiAl are investigated. The technique provides scale composition and depth profile information, scale thicknesses and growth rates, and information about transient phase evolution.
