Apparatus for the spectrometric analysis of the chemical composition of metallic parts

摘要

An apparatus for the spectrometric analysis of the chemical composition of metallic parts comprising a probe designed to be placed on the part and having a device for vaporizing the part. Means is provided for spacing the device from the part and also means for sensing the radiation emitted by the part vaporized by the device. A protective gas preferably continuously is admitted into the vicinity of the device and of the sensing means. Preferably, the probe is portable, hand-held, and enables outdoors the rapid determination of metals, particularly their carbon content, including those whose wavelength region is below 250 nm.
