X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is used often to determine a wide range of elements in alloys. The technique provides rapid, accurate, and precise multi-element analysis that enables efficient melt process control. It is also widely used for certification and over-check analysis of product. Although x-ray fluorescence has become a widely used technique of analysis by the nickel alloy industry,…

During the past five years, certain insulating oils have been found to contain corrosive sulfur that can produce copper sulfide deposits as a function of time and temperature in operating equipment. A proposed revision to ASTM standard D 1275, Test Method for Corrosive Sulfur in Electrical Insulating Oils, will provide a means to certify that new or in service oils either contain or do not…
