“The study investigates the detection of surface chemistry variations of AA2014 powder caused by an exposure to various relative humidity (RH) levels through a change in triboelectric charging behavior. The surface variations are analyzed in parallel with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Read more..
