Tóm tắt

An electrochemical method is presented for fast and non-destructive detection of surface inclusions in metals and alloys. Using electrode modification techniques, the sample surface is coated with a dark layer; the non-conductive inclusions remain uncoated and thus appear bright and highly visible. The new technique is demonstrated on different alloys with simulated and real inclusions.
