Present work authors in [24] article have suggested that such components have
not only different morphologies, but also origin genesis, associated with zinc
appearance in Cu-Al-Fe system. Measurement of components concentration in studied
bronze samples α-Cu solid solution crystals have been carried out by energy-dispersive
analysis method. Examples of quantitative components microanalysis are shown in
Figure 3.4. Measurement results are presented in Table 3.1.
