A method for constructing multi-layered thickness profiles from micro-PIXE line-scans

Description

A method of converting the lateral X-ray yield intensity distributions from micro-PIXE line-scans into multi-layered thickness profiles is proposed. The method is demonstrated by the construction of multi-layered wear patterns of the flank faces of two types of TiN-coated high-speed steel (HSS) drills used in machining stainless steel workpieces. The wear features consist of three layers, namely the tool substrate, the TiN-coating and the adhered workpiece material. Differences in the wear patterns of the drills were identified from the obtained multi-layered thickness profiles
