Author Description

Aluminium and zirconium were determined in alloys, slags, and fumes by 14 MeV neutron-activation analysis. After corrections for density variations and mutual interferences had been made, the date agreed well with those obtained by chemical analysis, precisions of less than 1,8 per cent being obtained. The method is capable of a through-put of 10 to 12 samples, in duplicate, per man-day, and is non-destructive.
