Title: THE DETERMINATION OF GASES IN METALS USING THE SEMI-MICRO VACUUM FUSION TECHNIQUE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4126268

The sample is introduced into a molten bath of platinum contained in a graphite crucible which is heated by means of a high-frequency induction heater. The evolved mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and nitrogen is analyzed by a low-pressure method. The method can be used in the determination of oxygen and hydrogen in iron, niobium, silicon, tantalum, thorium, titanium, tangsten, uranium, uranium carbide, vanadium, zirconium, and zirconium alloys and in the determination of oxygen in beryllium, boron, copper, and chromium.
