Abstract
IN the course of investigations on corrosion in electrical generating plant, metallographic examination of polished sections of various corrosion products revealed a layer structure and the morphology of the different layers suggested that each consisted of one or more distinct phases. It was desired to use X-ray or electron-diffraction techniques to identify the constituents of the different layers, some of which were only a few microns thick.
