High-throughput microanalysis of steel segregation using picosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
Segregation monitoring plays an essential role in the quality control of steels, and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) can be employed as a diagnostic tool in this process for elemental microanalysis. In this study, we constructed an ultrafast LIBS system employing a 1.2 kHz repetition-rate picosecond laser (ps-laser) to achieve high-throughput analysis of steel segregation with a spatial resolution of 1 μm. A large-scale elemental imaging was successfully accomplished with 100 million pixels covering an area of 1 cm2, while only consuming a total time of 25.27 h. The mapping results demonstrated excellent agreement with those obtained from Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA), thereby confirming the measurement reliability. Due to its comparative performance, LIBS has the potential to be developed as an alternative method for steel segregation analysis.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
