Abstract
A technique for X-ray fluorescence spectral analysis of zinc-aluminum- magnesium alloys has been developed, which allows the determination of Mg, Al, Pb, Si, Cu, Mn, Fe, Ni content in the alloy. The effect of the sample preparation method on the linearity of calibration graphs is revealed. The conditions for determining the main alloying (Al, Mg) and impurity (Pb, Fe, Cu, Si, Mn, Ni) elements by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry were studied. It is proposed to use the correction of the matrix effect by selecting alpha coefficients for the intensity of X- ray radiation with subsequent automatic conversion of the function into a linear form. Calibration graphs for determination of the elements in the corresponding ranges, i.e., Mg (0.00019 – 5.04%), Al (0.0002 – 12.4%), Pb (0.0012 – 2.07%), Si (0.0005 – 0.12%), Cu (0.0006 – 5.95%), Mn (0.0004 – 0.00524%), Fe (0.0009 – 0.41%), Ni (0.0009 – 0.27%), were obtained using standard reference samples and production samples of the alloys, the chemical composition of which was previously determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The correctness of the developed methodology was confirmed by analysis of standard samples and comparative analysis of the obtained results using the Student’s t-test.
