Techniques are described for the extraction onto carbon replicas of precipitates and inclusions from Mg and Al‐based alloys for analytical transmission electron microscopy. EDX analysis of Mn precipitates from a MG‐Mn alloy illustrates the problems that can arise from spurious X‐rays, caused by the use of a 3mm disc specimen. Published 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
