摘要: Scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX) was used to identify the gunshot residue (GSR) particles discharged by lead-free Sintox ammunition. GSR are characterized spheroidal mainly consisting of titanium (Ti) and zinc (Zn). The results obtained in this study agreement hypothesis that formed rapid condensation solidification vaporized molten primer bullet materials as a result sudden temperature quench. surface morphology Ti-Zn is an essential criterion for their identification discrimination against environmental particles.
