Abstract
A brief review of the high spatial resolution Auger electron spectroscopy (HRAES) and its usage in metallurgy is presented. A combination of HRAES and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy makes a powerful combination to resolve a large number of problems encountered in metallurgy. Several selected examples of such problems studied in the authors’ laboratory are presented: influence of surface active impurities on the surface properties and structure, chemical composition of nano-scaled inclusions, homogeneity of oxide layers formed by decarburization, chemical composition of inter- and intra-grain surfaces obtained by fracture in vacuum and interfacial study of 19Cr-13Ni austenitic stainless steel after treatment at elevated temperatures.
