Reliable characterization of steel microstructures is a key component of alloy development, damage analysis, and quality assurance. However, traditional SEM-EDS workflows are often slow, manual, and fragmented—an obstacle to throughput and reproducibility. The webinar “Streamlining Steel Microstructure Analysis” introduces the Axia™ ChemiSEM™ system, an integrated SEM-EDS platform that sets new standards in this field.

Modern Workflows for Steel Characterization
The Axia ChemiSEM enables real-time, material-specific analysis: Live quantitative element distributions are generated directly during imaging and combined with simultaneous secondary and backscattered electron images. This allows phases, inclusions, and chemical variations in complex steels to be differentiated quickly and without interruption.

A practical example using the Perception Steel software illustrates how automated particle recognition, feature classification, and statistical evaluation further accelerate microstructure analysis. The combination of both systems results in reproducible high-throughput workflows that advance research and industry alike.

Contents and Benefits of the Webinar
Participants will gain a thorough overview of how SEM and EDS integration can be implemented in practice:

• Live element mapping for immediate differentiation of phases and inclusions
• Simultaneous imaging with secondary and backscattered electrons for complementary information
• Automated workflows for reproducible results in research and production
• Case study on the combined use of Axia ChemiSEM and Perception Steel
