XV International Conference on Electron Microscopy

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: The main focus of the conference was on applying electron microscopy methods in material science, physics, chemistry, and the earth and life sciences. The 21 papers consider such topics as the mechanical and structural characterization of rapidly solidified aluminum-iron-magnesium alloys, the effect of hydrogen on the corrosion of rare-earth-containing magnesium alloys in sodium sulfate solution, the effect of adding zinc and zirconium on the microstructure and texture of cast and wrought magnesium alloys with different content of calcium, the electron microscopy investigation of an Inconel 625 weld overlay on boiler steel, and microstructural investigations of cracks in turbine wheels in car engine turbochargers.
