I have sectioned my samples from Albemarle IW. An obvious problem is, that
containing iron as they do, they rust almost immediately. Is there an accepted
procedure for surface preparation/coating for photography and macro visual
analysis? Where can one get it done?
I am also having thin sections prepared and have had PIXIE analysis performed on
six distinct formations within the three samples I have. The rough preliminary
data shows that the slag contained up to 30% Ti. Who does thin section
analysis? How much does it cost? Interestingly the metallic iron has a small,
but measurable Ti component.
Any Help Is Appreciated
