This paper describes the procedure developed for the accurate analysis by ICP-AES of Co-base superalloys, using yttrium as an internal standard. The chemical composition of these materials makes the development of spectroscopic analytical methods difficult due to the presence of major elements that exhibit intense and complex ICP emission spectra. A quantitative sample dissolution procedure and careful selection of the analytical lines used was carried out. The elements investigated were Co, Cr, Ni, W, Fe, Ta, N b, Al, Mo and Mn. Synthetic solutions were used for calibration, and standard samples were analysed to demonstrate the precision and accuracy of the developed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
