This study demonstrates the powerful capabilities of an Epsilon 3XLE, one of PANalytical’s benchtop EDXRF spectrometers, combined with the Stratos software module for determining the mass thickness of TiO2 coatings on steel using bulk standards instead of costly in-type standards.
An important application of Stratos is in the analysis of titanium oxide coatings on steel. Titanium oxide coatings are highly resistant to corrosion and so act as protective barrier on the steel surface.
