However, lo the ue of Rmn pectrocopy for inorgnic ppliction like for the determintion of different iron oxide fter pecific corroion experiment or meteorite compoition i common. In thi work, the method of Rmn imging h been ued for urfce chrcterition of high temperture long-term nneled teel mple function of the dew point of the nneling tmophere. The invetigtion reveled tht t high dew point, oxide (Al 2 O 3, SiO 2 ), ilicte (Fe 2 SiO 4 ) nd pinel phe (Fe 2 SiO 4 -pinel) could be identified by Rmn imging where t low dew point the rectivity of luminium with nitrogen nd oxygen w preferred nd the phe of luminium nitride (AlN) well ome luminium oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) could be detected. The Rmn imging w upported by EDX mpping to obtin the elementl compoition of the urfce nd by XPS meurement to get n inight into the bonding tte of the element which both confirmed the reult obtined vi Rmn imging. 1 Introduction Rmn pectrocopy w introduced in the 1960 nd mny dvntge nd propect hve been evluted ince then. Tody, Rmn pectrocopy cn be ued in mny different field of ppliction, like for biologicl, polymeric or inorgnic ubtnce. A chrcterition of compound by ex itu meurement fter the tril [1, 2] nd mechnitic tudy of behviour in pecific environment by in itu meurement [3, 4] re min ubject tht re decribed vi Rmn pectrocopy. For inorgnic ubtnce, the comprehenion of corroion mechnim on rcheologicl rtefct [5 7] nd the tructurl chnge or the ctive ite during ctlytic ctivity [4, 8 10] on the one hnd nd the chrcterition of the compound formed in pecific environment, uch different iron (hydro-)oxide fter expoure to lty oil [11, 12], chloride olution [3], high temperture [13] or fter contct with liquid metl like zinc [14] on the other hnd re necery to be known for complete undertnding of the mechnim. There re mny dvntge of Rmn pectrocopy, e.g. tht no mple preprtion i necery before the meurement nd tht the method i non-detructive [15]. The min dvntge i it high opticl reolution becue monochromtic light (ler) i ued for excittion. The combintion with confocl microcope mke it poible to reduce bckground ignl, to provide n enhnced contrt nd t the me time to decree the cquiition time of individul pectr [16]. The ft cquiition of pectr nd the enhnced enitivity re epecilly ueful when performing Rmn imging. With thi method it i poible to obtin ditribution mpping of different phe [5 6, 17] nd lo emi-quntittive reult of different compound by clcultion [5, 18]. Rmn imging therefore combine the dvntge of identifiction of pecie vi Rmn pectrocopy with the poibility of quntifiction of e.g. iron (hydro-) oxide fter the pecific corroion experiment or long-term expoure to ir [6, 17, 19].

Before the ubequent nneling tep in the lbortory furnce, the teel w cut into mple with the dimenion of 200 50 mm 2, engrved nd clened in n lkline olution t 65 8C. The long-term nneling for 2 h t 950 8C h been performed in two chmber furnce correponding to two different tmophere with two different dew point meured by dew point mirror (Generl Etern, 1311DR). The mple were plced on mple holder nd nlyed fter nneling. The prmeter for the nneling including the heting nd cooling rte of the furnce cn be found in Tble 2. 2.2 Chrcterition method All chrcterition were performed on the urfce of the teel tht hd not been in contct with the mple holder. After nneling, the mple were kept in dry tmophere until the ctul meurement. No further mple preprtion or modifiction w ued before the nlyi vi Rmn imging or FEG- SEM-EDX (Field Emiion Gun Scnning Electron Microcope Energy Diperive X-ry detector).

The mteril for both condition et of nneling were the me but the nneling prmeter differed widely in term of dew point, mple 1 w nneled t very low dew point of 50 8C where mple 2 w nneled t dew point of bout þ10 8C. The other prmeter like temperture (950 8C), nneling time (2 h) nd tmophere (10% H 2 in N 2 ) were kept the me for both mple. 3.1 Smple 1 (nneling t 950 8C for 2 h t dew point of 50 8C) The urfce propertie of mple 1 were chrcteried by uing Rmn imging. The imge nd pectr re hown in Fig. 1 reveling different pek with vrying intenity over the nlyed re. The higher the concentrtion of one pek (correlted to one pecific compound) the brighter i the intenity of the pot in the Rmn imge.

Thi pek nd lo pek of the Rmn pectrum hown in Fig. 1d (correponding to the Rmn imge in Fig. 1c) cn be correlted to different crytlline tructure of luminium nitride [25]. Thi compound w not found in the minerl dt be [26] but becue of the elementl compoition obtined vi EDX mpping (ee Fig. 4) the compoition w confirmed nd pecific literture concerning Rmn pectrocopy of luminium nitride could be erched for reveling three chrcteritic pek [25, 27]. Furthermore the publiction were deling with the Rmn hift becue of difference in orienttion of the AlN crytl or in the thickne of the AlN lyer which did not occur here.

Correlting the pectrum to reference pectr, the bnd t 219 cm 1 nd lo the bnd t 286 nd 1305 cm 1 could be relted to hemtite [28]. The mll pek t round 380 cm 1 (ee Fig. 1f) w not lbelled but it could be correlted to n iron hydroxide (FeOOH) [28]. Thoe iron (hydro-)oxide probbly evolved from corroion of the urfce t mbient temperture the tmophere w protective for iron during the nneling tep. The tmophere w lo protective for other lloying element in the electricl teel, like ilicon nd mngnee, becue of the low oxygen prtil preure t dew point of 50 8C (correponding to preure of 1.15 10 16 P). Only the formtion of luminium nitride (nd ome oxide, ee Fig. 11) w fvoured. The SEM imge of the urfce re tht h lredy been nlyed vi Rmn imging i diplyed in Fig. 2. The urfce tructure ppered rther homogeneou; only t ome pot difference in the urfce tructure w viible which grew during nneling (ee Fig. 2 in the upper middle of the imge). The very low dew point of bout 50 8C nd the protective tmophere of 10% H 2 in N 2 eem to influence the urfce tructure directly. The dotted tructure viible on the urfce of the mple correpond well to the Rmn imge in Fig. 1 nd c. Looking t the nneled electricl teel in croectionl view (ee Fig. 3) reveled homogeneou thickne ditribution of the urfce lyer. The oxidtion depth w le thn 1 mm nd only compoed of luminium with nitrogen nd ome oxygen (ee Fig. 11). When looking t the EDX mpping of the homogeneou mple urfce, the elementl nlyi reveled high concentrtion of luminium nd nitrogen (ee Fig. 4 nd b). Thi doe not only correpond very well to the informtion obtined vi Rmn imging but lo the pttern with mll dot, viible in Fig. 4, i the me. Thi pttern cn lo be detected when looking t the element iron (Fig. 5) nd when compring luminium with iron it cn be een tht the iron content get lower with higher luminium content, nd vice ver. Thi cn be explined when looking t the penetrtion depth of both method the Rmn imging i urfce enitive method which penetrte ome 200 500 nm, where the EDX mpping h lightly higher penetrtion depth of bout 1.5 mm t the energy ued. The deeper the poibility of penetrtion into the urfce, the more iron from the ubtrte cn be detected. Due to the rther thin lyer of <1 mm (reveled by cro-ectionl nlyi, ee Fig. 3) the content of iron detected by EDX mpping i high. Since Rmn imging h n even mller penetrtion depth, the chrcterition of the urfce lyer with it Rmn-ctive ignl w ucceful. On top of thi homogeneou lyer of AlN n pprently different egment i viible, probbly grown during nneling.

Further the pek of iron Fe 2p 3/2 t BE of 710.18 ev could be correlted to mixture of the binding energy of fylite nd ome iron oxide [36]. The Al 2p pek t 74.13 ev could be correlted to luminium oxide [35]. The mount of mngnee nd nitrogen were too low for correltion of the binding energie. The BE-correltion of both mple re in good greement with the reult obtined vi Rmn imging. In both ce crbon could be detected on the urfce which i common nd well known effect in urfce nlytic. In the preent tudy thi vlue remin high ince no urfce clening by, e.g. Ar puttering w performed with repect to the interet in the very urfce which would hve been ffected by the puttering proce. 4 Concluion Rmn imging h been proven to be n efficient method for the identifiction of urfce tructure nd compoition on long-term high temperture nneled mple. With the vrition of the dew point of the nneling tmophere, different urfce compoition could be reveled which correponded well to literture [21 22, 30]. At high dew point (correponding to n oxygen prtil preure of bout 4.4 10 11 P), ilicon nd luminium rected with oxygen in the tmophere to form oxide (Al 2 O 3, SiO 2 ), ilicte (Fe 2 SiO 4 ) nd pinel phe (Fe 2 SiO 4 -pinel). Epecilly the different ilicon phe could be eily identified nd ditinguihed vi Rmn imging. At low dew point (correponding to n oxygen prtil preure of bout 1.15 10 16 P) the tmopheric condition were protective for iron nd for ilicon nd only the luminium rected with the oxygen well with the nitrogen of the nneling tmophere. Therefore not only oxide or ilicte phe but lo nitride compound uch luminium nitride (AlN) could be identified vi Rmn imging. With the help of the elementl compoition (obtined by EDX mpping) nd the bonding tte (obtined by XPS) the compoition obtined by Rmn imging could be verified nd even phe tht re not Rmn ctive, like e.g. pure iron, could be identified with the help of thoe complementry method.
