A SPECTROSCOPIC, POINT-TO-PLANE METHOD OF ANALYSIS FOR TITANIUM ALLOYS Materials for Army Weapons and Combat Mobility

摘要

A spectroscopic, point-to-plane method of analysis has been developed for titanium alloys containing aluminum, chromium, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and vanadium. A direct-reading spectrometer with a high-voltage source provided the high-voltage spark for excitation. Results were obtained from a sequential read-out system and converted to analytical curves. Spectroscopic titanium samples, obtained from the National Bureau of Standards, and graphite pins were used. Representative coefficients of variation and results are presented.
