ASTM E-42 ILA# 863 Round Robin Participant "XPS depth profiling of stainless steel coupons"

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Mark Engelhard

This ASTM E42 round robin will explore the efficacy of using the “Bulk Ratio (BR)” method for XPS depth profiling stainless steel. The advantage of the BR method is that no calibration standards are…
