| Synopsis: This article reviews the research trends during the last decade in chemical analysis, process control analysis, surface analysis and microscopic characterization in Kawasaki Steel. The analytical methods, such as the highly accurate ultratrace analysis for steels and silicon materials and the spark discharge optical emission spectroscopy for gaseous constituents in steels, have been developed in order to meet the requirements from the material developments and manufacturing process. It is demonstrated that field emission gun Auger electron spectroscopy (FE-AES) and field emission gun transmission electron microscope (FE-TEM) have become novel powerful tools for the surface and structure characterization. The application of X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy to in situ analysis at high temperature are also described. |
