Chemical states of Fe, Cr, Ni, Mn, and O in stainless steel, SS304, are nondestructively observed over a wide range of depth from nanometer (nm) to several tens of nm by means of the depth-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy in the soft X-ray region. It is revealed that Cr is more oxidized in the surface region than the inner region, while Fe is also oxidized at the surface though the oxidation is less prominent compared to Cr. The chemical states of Cr are described by a mixture of Cr-O and Cr-OH coordinations, with more OH components at the surface. Mn and Ni spectra show MnO and metallic Ni features, respectively, throughout the depth of at least up to several tens of nm.
通过软X射线区域的深度分辨X射线吸收光谱,在从纳米(nm)到几十纳米的广泛深度范围内,无损观察了不锈钢SS304中Fe、Cr、Ni、Mn和O的化学状态。结果表明,Cr在表面区域比内部区域更易被氧化,而Fe在表面也被氧化,尽管与Cr相比氧化不太明显。Cr的化学状态由Cr - O和Cr - OH配位的混合物描述,表面有更多的OH组分。在至少几十纳米的深度范围内,Mn和Ni光谱分别显示出MnO和金属Ni的特征。
