Significance and Use
This method for the chemical analysis of titanium and titanium alloys is primarily intended to test material for compliance with specifications of chemical composition.
It is assumed that all who use this method will be trained analysts capable of performing common laboratory procedures skillfully and safely, and that the work will be performed in a properly equipped laboratory.
The method is designed to give the maximum flexibility analyzing elements in the titanium matrix. Thus options are given in calibration and analysis to accommodate the variety of ICP and DCP spectrometers and their auxiliary systems.
Scope
1.1 This method describes the analysis of titanium and titanium alloys by ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma) and DCP-AES (Direct Current Plasma) for the following elements:
| Element | ApplicationRange (wt.%) | QuantitativeRange (wt.%) |
| Aluminum | 0-8 | 0.001 to 8.0 |
| Boron | 0-0.04 | 0.0008 to 0.01 |
| Chromium | 0-5 | 0.005 to 4.0 |
| Copper | 0-0.6 | 0.002 to 0.5 |
| Iron | 0-3 | 0.004 to 3.0 |
| Manganese | 0-0.04 | 0.001 to 0.01 |
| Molybdenum | 0-8 | 0.004 to 6.0 |
| Nickel | 0-1 | 0.001 to 1.0 |
| Silicon | 0-0.5 | 0.02 to 0.4 |
| Tin | 0-4 | 0.02 to 3.0 |
| Vanadium | 0-15 | 0.01 to 15.0 |
