The variation in composition of carbides formed during the tempering at 700°C of complex medium-carbon steels containing tungsten or molybdenum has been followed by analytical electron microscopy. Quantitative analysis of carbides containing tungsten has been achieved using Lα X-ray intensity measurements. Direct measurement of carbide compositions has meant that chemical as well as structural observations can be made during the tempering of alloy steels.
