Popis: Thermoelectric power coefficient measurement techniques have been developed for numerous applications to guarantee material integrity by providing a non-destructive electronic property correlation to material microstructure, phase stability, specific solute additions, and lattice strain. How the electron concentration, the effective mass, and the dominating scattering mechanisms allow for non-destructive evaluation of materials will be described. Because thermoelectric power (TEP) is dependent upon numerous variables, additional non-destructive techniques are necessary to further characterize or classify the material or weldment. The concept of an electronic metallography laboratory is developed using additional collaborative NDE technologies.
