The AISI 316Ti (EN 1.4571) austenitic stainless steel sample (50 × 30 × 1,5 mm) was used for the study. The main elements forming the steel are: chromium (16-18%), molybdenum (2.0-3.0%), nickel (10.0-14.0%), titanium (max 0.7%), and iron as the rest of the steel composition. The electrolytic polishing operations were performed at the current density of 50 A/dm2. The main elements of the electropolishing setup were a processing cell, a DC power supply RNG-3010, the electrodes and connecting wiring. The studies were carried out in the electrolyte of initial temperature of 50±5 °C. For the studies, as the electrolyte a mixture of two acids, i.e. H3PO4:H2SO4 equal to 60%:40%, was used. For surface characterization the 3D roughness parameters(Sa=0.744 μm, Sq=0.984; Sp=2.32, Sv=3.5, St=5.88; Ssk=–0.898; Sku=2.97) regarding ISO25178 were used.

In previous studies, the potential of a microline imaging arrangement for surface characterization of solid samples in air at atmospheric pressure using laser-induced plasma spectrometry (LIPS) has been demonstrated. An improvement of this approach to obtain a uniform ablation along the microline focus that leads to a representative spatial distribution of elements on the sample surface is presented. For this purpose, the influence of beam energy distribution of two types of Nd: YAG pulsed lasers (a Gaussian laser and a flat top laser) on lateral resolution, intensity profiles of elements, chemical distribution maps, and plasma electron temperature has been investigated. As models of homogeneous and compositionally patterned samples, a stainless steel sample and a photovoltaic cell were chosen for this study. The results demonstrated that the Gaussian laser provides the best lateral resolution, but more redeposition at both sides of the microline crater, while the chemical maps obtained with the flat top laser matched with the distribution of the constituents of the sample surface.

In IPEN’s Neutron Activation Laboratory (LAN/IPEN), thin stainless steel sample holders are used for gamma spectrometry in NAA measurements. This material is very practical, but its chemical composition may be troublesome, as it presents large amounts of elements with intermediate atomic number, with attenuation factors for low-energy gamma-rays that must not be neglected. In this study, count rates obtained using different sample holders were compared. To accomplish that, an Am-241 source, with 59-keV gamma emission, was used so that low-energy gamma attenuation differences can be determined. Moreover, in order to study the energy dependence of these differences, a Ho-166m source was also used. From these results, it was possible to analyze the experimental error associated to the variations between sample holders, with the aim of introducing an addictive term to the uncertainty analysis of comparative Neutron Activation Analysis results.

Working Parameters

Exposure of a 304 stainless steel sample to an inductively coupled low pressure radio frequency (RF) nitrogen plasma leads to the formation of a nitriding layer. The protective properties of this layer are investigated by electrochemical methods. The corrosion potential of the steel in an aqueous solution depends on the working parameters of the plasma such as the time exposure and the distance between the steel sample and the high voltage (HV) coil of the treatment reactor.
