The microsegregations in iron alloys can be thoroughly described in detail by a microprobe analysis. By determining the element contents on a surface (max. 100.100 points of measurement) the elements segregation behaviour in the structure can be examined. Adequate data evaluation such as three‐class‐diagrams, coupling of contents during the precipitation of cored crystals or line‐scans give further evidence of the amount of segregations in the cast or rolled material. In conjunction with other methods such as thermal analysis, the microprobe analysis is able to give information about the solidification of iron alloys.
