ABSTRACT
Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS) is a technique commonly used for material characterization (Scrivener 2004, Zhao 2006, Çopuroğlu 2011), to study the steel-concrete interface (Glass 2001) or chloride profiles (Jensen 1996, Win 2004). A high-energy beam sends electrons to the sample at enormous speed. These electrons interact on the surface and a certain volume of material. BackScattered Electrons (BSE) are analyzed for the excitation energy and elements contained in the sample can be quantified.
