Abstract
The carbon content and depth distribution close to the surface in steel samples at the 0.1–1% level have been studied, by means of proton activation in the energy range 1–4.5 MeV. A Van de Graaff accelerator was used, initiating the nuclear reaction 12C(p,γ) 13N which possesses two resonances at the energies of 0.46 and 1.70 MeV. The technique is of interest in connection with carbonization of iron products.
