Determination of the Bulk Elemental Composition of Cast Iron with Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry (GD-OES)
Allen Metz and Aaron Walczewski, LECO Corporation
A spectrometer is used to measure the emission signals from the glow discharge. Since the number of photons emitted by each element is proportional to its relative concentration in the sample, analyte concentrations can be deduced by calibration with reference samples of known composition.
