The simultaneous determination of six metals in aluminium alloys by atomic-fluorescence spectrophotometry

Abstract

The rapid determination of copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, nickel and zinc in aluminium alloys by using a six-channel atomic-fluorescence spectrophotometer is reported. Simultaneous determination of all six metals at a single dilution is possible with this technique. The results compare favourably with the published values for the same alloys. The method was shown to permit sensitive and accurate analysis of these samples.
