Step Chronology Date Type Process Changes #1 before layer formation 1995-01-01 thermal melting of ferrous oxalate in an arc furnance under argon atmosphere changing composition to FeO #2 before layer formation 1995-01-01 thermal quenching the melt quickly on water cooled copper plate formation of a melt droplet #3 before layer formation 1995-01-01 mechanical embedding the melt droplet into epoxy resin #4 during layer formation 1995-01-01 mechanical polishing of the embedded FeO melt droplet to obtain a smooth and flat surface - Comments
- Argon atmosphere during melting was used to provide inert conditions and thus to suppress oxidation of divalent (ferrous) iron to trivalent (ferric) iron.
