USE OF CHEMICAL-PHASE ANALYSIS IN MATERIA L RESEARCH OF STAINLESS-STEELS

Chemical phase analysis of stainless steels deals mainly with isolatio n and analysis of carbidic, nitridic, sulphidic and intermetallic phas es, possibilities of their separation and identification. Main attenti on is at present paid to electro-chemical method of isolating unstable minority phases in non-water environment. Results of isolations and p hase analyses obtained from different types of steels axe used for sol ving current tasks concerning the problems of corrosion, study of mate rial properties, etc.
