STUDIES IN HEAVY-ION ACTIVATION-ANALYSIS .5. DETERMINATION OF CARBON IN STEEL BY LI-6 ACTIVATION Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Nondestructive heavy ion activation analysis has been used to determine the carbon content in various NBS SRM steel samples with a 7.0MeV6Li+ beam. The reaction12C(6Li, n)13N allows for carbon analysis with the only possible interference being beryllium,9Be(6Li, 2n)13N. Under interference-free conditions, and employing a post-irradiation etch, the detection limit for carbon analysis in steel was 5 ppm. 1980 Akadmiai Kiad.
