This paper describes a unified x-ray spectral analysis XSA method for five grades of stainless steel that are sampled during melting. The measurements were made with a combination of a VRA-10R spectrometer with a KSR-4100 computer. The variance-analysis data is given, which show that the working surface of the emery stone wears as time passes. A table shows that the effects of Sr,c become apparent as the surface finish improves due to nonuniform element distribution in the liquid. The results satisfy the requirements and enable one to use the method, which provides good reproducibility and accuracy.
