Methods of Structural Researches

Metallographic and X-ray diffraction analysis was widely used in the investiga­tion of materials. The lattice period and phase components in carbide composi­tions were determined by standard methods using URS-50IM and DRON-3 X-ray setups. The chemical and phase compositions of materials were studied by the known instrumental methods of chemical, physicochemical, emission spectroscopy, atomic spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. In addition, newly developed methods of porometry,
