Applications of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to the production control of aerospace and nuclear materials

Abstract

Inductively coupled plasma source mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has proved to be a useful practical tool in a high-volume quality control laboratory. The application of this technique to materials produced for the aerospace and nuclear industries is discussed. Techniques employed for uranium isotope ratio determination and elemental determination of gadolinium, samarium and thorium in hafnium and zirconium alloys are described. Strategies employed for a semi-quantitative survey analysis for a wide range of elements are also presented.
