Implementation of Nanoscale Secondary-Ion Mass Spectrometry Analyses: Application to Ni-Based Superalloys
First published: 10 May 2022
Graphical Abstract
Nickel-Based Superalloys
Nickel-based superalloys are used in the manufacturing of aircraft engine parts and are widely studied for their outstanding mechanical resistance at high temperatures. In article number 2100414, Jean Almoric and co-workers carried out a chemical characterization at very high resolution (<30nm) of a γ-γ' alloy allowing a semi-quantification of γ' precipitates. This is achieved with an innovative orthogonal time-of-flight SIMS integrated in a Focused Ion Beam/Scanning Electron Microscope UHV platform, called NanoSpace and made by Orsay Physics.
