Notes:
A method of preparing thinned cross sections of coated sheet steel (Galvalume) for observation in an analytical electron microscope (AEM) was developed. Steel panels dipped for 4 sec in baths of 55% by weight (wt pct) Al-1.7 wt pct Si-balance Zn, and 55 wt pct Al-6.88 wt pct Si-balance Zn at 610°C were examined. The ratio of the intensity of the K and L x-ray lines from the same element was used in determining the foil thickness. The AEM results compared favorably to results obtained using electron microprobe analysis (EMPA).
