The characterization of alloys is strongly requested from metallurgists as basic data for computer aided alloy design systems for duplex type alloys such as α-γ type stainless steels, γ-γ’ type Ni-base superalloys, α-β type Ti alloys, etc. The characterization falls into the following three categories.
1)Determination of entire average composition of bulk specimens.2)Identification and the determination of phases including deleterious phases in the alloys.3)Determination of the composition of all phases in the alloys and the accuracy of the evaluation of the results obtained without standards.
