Analysis of impurities in steel by activation with a 252Cf source

  • 1. CNRS, Orleans, France

Description

Unalloyed steel samples were analyzed by neutron activation with a 252Cf source. Al and Mn were determined simultaneously and non-destructively; the detection limits are 30 ppM and 10 ppM, respectively. It was demonstrated that As, Cr, Co, Cu, Mo, Sb, and W could also be analyzed simultaneously and non-destructively after a longer irradiation period; detections limits are respectively 1 ppM, 200 ppM, 20 ppM, 7 ppM, 40 ppM, 1 ppM, and 1 ppM, under our experimental conditions
