Abstract

A review of the techniques used to study the chemistry of near grain boundary regions is given. The traditional techniques of radiography, chemical etching and microprobe are discussed and their limitations pointed out. New techniques are presented such as ion scattering spectrometry, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, ion backscattering spectrometry, and Auger electron spectroscopy. The success of these new techniques indicates they will prove most useful. © 1974 Maney Publishing.
