Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) is a technique used in material science, including cement and concrete analysis, to identify the elemental composition of materials. In the context of cement and concrete, EDX is utilized alongside scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to provide detailed imaging and elemental analysis of the microstructural components. This analytical method helps in detecting and quantifying the presence of elements such as calcium, silicon, aluminum, and sulfur, which are crucial for understanding the hydration products and contamination in concrete. By mapping the distribution of these elements, EDX aids in understanding the mechanisms of degradation and the effectiveness of protective measures against environmental stresses.
