Figure 5.12. EDXS Inhibitor Mapping of Deft 44GN098 primer before (above) <strong>and</strong> after (below)<br />

2000-hour ASTM B117 salt spray test.<br />

Statistical techniques were applied to the data in the inhibitor field maps to reveal <strong>and</strong> quantify<br />

spatial <strong>and</strong> chemical distribution trends. The approach taken, as shown in Figure 5.13, is to<br />

isolate horizontal (in the primer plane) <strong>and</strong> vertical (through the primer plane) line scans from<br />

the maps, <strong>and</strong> to apply correlation analysis to the element pairs within each line scan.<br />
