Abstract:

A method is described which employs an external standard technique in the spectrographic analysis of stainless steels. This technique overcomes problems presented by the internal standard dilution effect always encountered in the spectrographic analysis of alloys of this type. The data were processed on the MERDC INTERCOM time-sharing computer system using existing programs which were slightly modified to suit the needs of this project.
