Abstract
In this study, the effects of some surface pre-treatments, i.e., alkaline etching at various temperatures and chemical cleaning with Nabuclean and CrO3/H3PO4, on these rolled-in layers are investigated by means of surface analytical techniques. The changes in composition and morphology of the (sub)surface are studied with scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray analysis and backscattered electron imaging (SEM/EDXÂ +Â BEI). The presence of incorporated oxide particles is evaluated by measuring the total reflectance. The (re-)distribution of alloying, impurity and trace elements upon these surface treatments is investigated with radiofrequency glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (rf-GDOES).
