Abstract

Direct observation of diffraction arcs by X-ray from nanoscale precipitates in steels has become possible for the first time by using a highly brilliant and focused synchrotron radiation beam at BL3A of Photon Factory, and also by using an “imaging plate”, a two dimensional X-ray detector which has a wide dynamic range and high sensitivity. For examples, most of the diffraction arcs from ε-Cu precipitates (∼200 Å in diameter and ∼1 at. % in concentration) in Cu-added steels were observed. The method can apply to nondestructive and in-situ observation of creation and growth processes of the precipitates which has close relationships to various physical properties of the matrix steels.
