β¦ Synopsis
is proportional to the intercept divided by the sixth power of the radius.
It may be noted that use of this graphical analysis of the X-ray scattering data lectds to a much better agreement between the two difIerent methods of cluster size determination.
The sizes of the two fractions obtained by the X-ray technique correspond fairly well to the smallest and largest cluster sizes measured by the electron microsoopy technique. It WM not possible to decompose the sc&tering curve any further so as to obtain ~~~e~a~ size fractions. This limit&ion of the method may be a result of the small range of cluster size.
It will be noted, furthermore, that the weight and number fractions of the clusters obtained from the X-ray data indioste a heavy preponderance of the smaller cluster size. This finding also brings the X-my results into much better agreement with those of transmission electron microscopy. These results may give one confidence that in the size range of 20 A-50 A good agreement o&n be obtained in the determination of particle size by X-ray and electron microscopy techniques.

It can be seen that the peaks resulting from the mergers in the tempered martensite pattern have roughly the same angular position as those in the pattern from cold-worked filings; i.e. peaks 3 and 4 approach the position of th
