Conclusions
CCSEM-technique is a valuable method when characterizing the bed material coatings and agglomerates. It is comparatively easy to carry out more than a thousand point analyses and obtain valid statistical information by using automated image processing. The use of quasi-ternary diagrams provides a good insight into the nature of the sample and can even reveal the phases present in a coating or an agglomerate.
