Researchers in the field of metals are committed to improving various mechanical properties of materials, such as steel, to meet the needs of modern industry and manufacturing. Especially the precipitated phases formed during steel production have a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the steel. The study of the exact properties of these precipitated phases remains a research hotspot, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can provide high-resolution nanoscale information of the sample, making it a tool for such analysis.

However, such routine analysis requires a large amount of data to obtain reliable and statistically significant results. Thermo Scientific^TMThe Automated Particle Workflow (APW) combines our hardware and software into a powerful, automated, and unmanned nanoparticle characterization workflow, which is highly suitable for the analysis of precipitated phases in steel.
