Abstract

A comprehensive chart is preserit of the X-ray diffraction effects of gas-and Uquid-like armorphous substances, small particle-size materials, mixtures of amorphous and crystalline compounds, sheetlike crystals, and fibrous materials.

The relationship between the X-ray diagrams and chemical preparations as shown by typical examples from the field of the manufacture of active catalysts cadmium sulfide semiconductors, pour point-depressed lubricants, electroless nickel platings and metal-filled cellulose fibers.

The investigation of thin surface layers formed by chemical reactions required the combination of electron and X-ray diffraction techniques. The usefulness of this combination of methods is demonstrated by a study of black stain formation on cold rolled annealed steel. By identifying the materials in the stain and determining the sequence in which they formed a reaction mechanism between steel surface and annealing-gas can be postulated.
