Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy

An analytical technique used for the elemental analysis or chemical characterization of a sample. As a type of spectroscopy, it relies on the investigation of a sample through interactions between electromagnetic radiation and matter, analyzing x-rays emitted by the matter in response to being hit with the electromagnetic radiation. Its characterization capabilities are due in large part to the fundamental principle that each element has a unique atomic structure allowing x-rays that are characteristic of an element's atomic structure to be identified uniquely from each other.

Cases involving Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS):
Corrosion Failure Analysis
Clevis Pin Failure
Motor Cooling Fan Failure
