19、3.1 For definitions of terms used in this test method, refer to Terminology E135.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A capacitor discharge is produced between the flat, ground surface of the disk specimen and a conically shaped electrode.The discharge is terminated at a predetermined intensity time integra

20、l of a selected iron line, or at a predetermined time, and therelative radiant energies of the analytical lines are recorded. The most sensitive lines of arsenic, boron, carbon, nitrogen,phosphorus, sulfur, and tin lie in the vacuum ultraviolet region. The absorption of the radiation by air in this

21、region is overcomeby evacuating the spectrometer and flushing the spark chamber with argon.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method for the spectrometric analysis of metals and alloys is primarily intended to test such materials forcompliance with compositional specifications. It is assumed that

22、all who use this test method will be analysts capable of performingcommon laboratory procedures skillfully and safely. It is expected that work will be performed in a properly equipped laboratory.6. Apparatus6.1 Sampling Devices:6.1.1 Refer to Practice E1806 for devices and practices to sample liqui

Its approximate range shall be from 120.0145.0 nm to 400.0 nm. Masks shall be provided in the spectrometer to eliminatesc

29、attered radiation. The spectrometer shall be provided with an air inlet and a vacuum outlet. The spectrometer shall be operatedat a vacuum of 3.33 Pa (25 m of mercury) or below. The primary slit width can range from 20 m to 50 m. Secondary slit widthscan vary (normally between 37 m and 200 m) depend

30、ing on the element wavelength and possible interfering wavelengths.6.5 Measuring System, consisting of photomultipliers (Note 2) having individual voltage adjustments, capacitors in which theoutput of each photomultiplier is stored, a voltage measuring system to register the voltages on the capacito

31、rs either directly orindirectly, and the necessary switching arrangements to provide the desired sequence of operation.NOTE 2Spectrometers equipped with CCD and/or CID detectors may be used provided the user can verify that the data obtained are equivalent tothe precision and bias statistics in this

32、 method.6.6 Vacuum Pump, capable of maintaining a vacuum of 3.33 Pa (25 m Hg) or less.NOTE 3A pump with a displacement of at least 0.23 m3/min (8 ft3/min) is usually adequate.6.7 Gas System, consisting of an argon supply with pressure and flow regulation. Automatic sequencing shall be provided toact

33、uate the flow at a given rate for a specific time interval. The flow rate may be manually or automatically controlled. The argonsystem shall be in accordance with Practice E406.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Counter ElectrodesThe counter electrodes can be silver or thoriated tungsten rods, or other ma

34、terial, provided it can beshown experimentally that equivalent precision and bias is obtained. The rods can vary in diameter from 1.5 mm to 6.5 mm(depending on the instrument manufacturer) and typically are machined to a 90 90 or 120 120 angled tip.NOTE 4A black deposit will collect on the tip of th

35、e electrode. This deposit should be removed between specimens (typically with a wire brush). Ifnot removed, it can reduce the overall intensity of the spectral radiation or transfer slight amounts of contamination between specimens, or both. Thenumber of acceptable excitations on an electrode varies

36、 from one instrument to another, and should be established in each laboratory. It has been reportedthat thousands of excitations can be performed on a thoriated tungsten electrode before replacement is necessary.7.1.1 Ablack deposit will collect on the tip of the electrode. This deposit should be re

37、moved between specimens (typically witha wire brush). If not removed, it can reduce the overall intensity of the spectral radiation or transfer slight amounts of contaminationbetween specimens, or both. The number of acceptable excitations on an electrode varies from one instrument to another, andsh

38、ould be established in each laboratory.NOTE 4It has been reported that thousands of excitations can be performed on a thoriated tungsten electrode before replacement is necessary.7.2 Inert Gas, Argon, in accordance with Practice E406.8. Reference Materials8.1 Certified Reference Materials (CRMs)Thes

39、e are available from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)and other sources and span all or part of the concentration mass fraction ranges listed in 1.1. They are used to calibrate thespectrometer for the elements of interest or to validate the performance of the test method. It

40、is not recommended to use CRMsas verifiers or to establish the repeatability of the chemical measurement process. Differences can occur between CRMs andproduction samples prepared by the sampling procedures recommended in this test method. Certain elements (for example, sulfur)calibrations may need

41、to be corrected with values from reference materials made by normal production sampling techniques andanalyzed by Test Methods E350 and E1019.NOTE 5Certified Reference Materials manufactured by NIST are trademarked with the name, “Standard Reference Materials, SRMs.”8.2 Reference Materials (RMs)Thes

42、e are available from multiple suppliers or can be developed in house. RMs are typicallyused to control (verifiers) and drift correct (standardants) the spectrometer. These reference materials shall be homogenous andcontain appropriate concentrationscompositions of each element to be controlled or dr

43、ift corrected, or both.9. Preparation of Specimens and Reference Materials9.1 The specimens and reference materials must be prepared in the same manner. A specimen cut from a large sample sectionmust be of sufficient size and thickness for preparation and to properly fit the spectrometer stand. A 10

44、-mm to 38-mm thickspecimen is normally most practical.9.2 Ensure the specimens are free from voids and pits in the region to be excited (Note 6). Initially grind the surface with a50-grit to 80-grit abrasive belt or disc (wet or dry). Perform the final grind with a dry abrasive belt or disc.Afiner a

45、brasive grindingmedia (for example, 120-grit) may be used for the final grind, but is not essential (essential. Note 7).NOTE 6Specimen porosity is undesirable because it leads to the improper “diffuse-type” rather than the desired “concentrated-type” discharge. Thespecimen surface should be kept cle

46、an because the specimen is the electron emitter, and electron emission is inhibited by oily, dirty surfaces.NOTE 7Reference materials and specimens must be refinished dry on an abrasive belt or disc before being re-excited on the same areaE415 1439.2.1 Reference materials and specimens must be refin

47、ished dry on an abrasive belt or disc before being re-excited on the samearea.TABLE 1 Internal Standard and Analytical LinesElement Wavelength, nm LineClassificationA Possible InterferenceBAluminum 394.40 I V, Mn, Mo, Ni308.22 I V, MnArsenic 197.20 I Mo, W193.76 I MnBoron 182.64 I S, Mn, Mo182.59 I
