Reference Materials for New Grades of Nickel Superalloys and Their Application in Spectral Analysis

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in the analysis of metals, chemicals and materials

“…Several papers discussed the analysis of edible salt, an important topic because of its high consumption by the population where trace contamination could lead to unintentional bioaccumulation. Caridi et al evaluated the concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Hg and Pb as well as the anthropogenic 137 Cs and natural 40 K radioisotopes in nine samples of food salts using ICP-MS and High Purity Germanium (HPGe) Gamma Spectrometry. 100 Thankfully, all results obtained were under allowable levels, thus excluding the risk of toxic effects on humans.…”

“…Dvoretskov et al reported the development of reference materials for new grades of nickel superalloys. 40 The authors pointed out that until now, there was a complete lack of reference materials for many modern, heat-resistant nickel superalloys. The authors prepared the samples and then polished the ends and studied the homogeneity.…”
