Magnetic force microscopy has been used to characterize the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition caused by carbide precipitation in a HPM alloy used in ethylene production. The MFM images are compared to conventional atomic force microscope micrographs. The element segregation in the alloy is quantified using scanning electron microscope energy dispersive x-ray analysis linescans, and compared to Curie temperature data for iron, nickel and chromium alloys.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
