Inhomogeneity of the production sample
It is also of crucial importance for the the sample surface being anal-
ysed to be representative and homogeneous. This applies particularly to
production control samples in steelworks, but also to other production
locations. For various reasons, the top layer of a sample is not normally
representative of the steel melts being examined. Firstly, due to the brief
direct air contact with the warm sample surface, a layer of scale approx-
imately 10µm thick forms following separation from the mould of the
sampler. Secondly, the larger part of the non-representative sample
layer consists of inhomogeneities known as segregations. These
segregations arise as a result of separations of the solutes occurring on
the solidification front as the liquid steel taken from the steel melt solidifies.
