Summary: | In an effort to characterize interfacial microstructures in FeZn bimetallic couples, various techniques for the production of thin foils for examination with the transmission electron microscope (TEM) were developed. Microcrystalline arrays were observed in bright-field transmission electron microscopy images in the vicinity of the FeZn interface. Selected-area diffraction pattern analyses of these microcrystalline regions indicated the presence of several intermetallic phases and/or mixtures of these phases. These phases might originate during ion-beam thinning. However, it is argued that they could also form during room temperature aging. |
