Compound Analysis vs. Elemental Analysis
(OP)
I am trying to determine fatigue failure for superheater tube sample. What are the big differences between Compound Analysis and Elemental Analysis? What are the differences between them? Which would be a better tool to find out if fatigue indicators are present?





RE: Compound Analysis vs. Elemental Analysis
What is your definition and understanding of the “differences between Compound Analysis and Elemental Analysis?” I’m not sure that I understand what those terms mean. As often as not, pitting, corrosion, erosion, geometry, mechanical properties and metallurgy of the materials, fabricating methods and/or defects cause fatigue failures, as the exact stresses and cycling. And, all of these things have to be taken into account, based on long experience with them and the product you are dealing with.
