M. Yamashita et al., Quantitative analysis of ultra-fine goethite in rust layer on steel using Mossbauer and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, J JPN METAL, 64(1), 2000, pp. 77-78
We have proposed determination procedure of the relative amounts of rust co
nstituents of steel. Mossbauer spectroscopy provides the relative amounts o
f crystalline rust constituents including ultra-fine crystals. A quantitati
ve analysis of ultra-fine crystals is possible with the resolution of sever
al percent by comparing the Mossbauer results with the relative amounts of
rust constituents determined by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy.
