Description

A procedure has been implemented for multielemental analysis of alloys using a nondestructive method. The method is based on the direct bombing of the sample with a beam of gamma photons from Am-241 source, and by the evaluation the spectrum obtained, the present elements are identified and quantifies. For the evaluation the spectrum, the software Quantitative X- Ray Analysis System (QXAS) version 3.5, and elemental sensitivities method, provided by the IAEA was used. The method is applicable to alloys of Au, Ag, Cu, Ni, Zn, Pd, etc. in concentrations the order % with an error of ± 5% It can to be used as the quality control of jewels. (author)
