Abstract
Pure carbon phases formed in samples of soot-alloyed powder steel produced by mechanical activation were investigated using transmission electron microscopy and Auger-electron energy loss fine spectroscopy. A theoretical approach was proposed that considers the escape depth of the signal under analysis when modelling the functions of the radial distribution of atoms in the crystal lattice. The approach proposed allowed for the identification of the nano-crystalline pure carbon phase as a structure similar to natural diamond. The presence of nanosized diamond particles will allow for noticeable enhancement of the consumer qualities of powder steel used to manufacture blades.
