Recent Technical Progress in Analysis and Material Evaluation at Kawasaki Steel

Keiichi Yoshioka, Makoto Shimura, Akira Yamamoto
Synopsis:
This article reviews the recent technical progress 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 and inclusions in steels, have been developed in order to meet the requirements from the material developments and manufacturing process. It is demonstrated that FE-AES and FE-TEM have become novel powerful tools for the surface and structure characterization. The applications of X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy to in-situ analysis at high temperature are also described.
