Abstract

Simplified models are “being used, at the College Park Metallurgy Research Center for six popular methods for matrix correction in X-ray analysis, including Lachance-Traill, Lucas-Tooth and Pyne, and Rasberry-Heinrich procedures. A choice of models provides the broader data-handling capability required for processing information obtained by both energy-dispersive and wavelength-dispersive X-ray systems. The selection of model for each problem depends on the system and the availability of standard reference materials. Programming developed at College Park using the simplified models has been formulated for use by analytical chemists with minimal computer training. Some of the considerations involved in developing a versatile computer program for matrix correction will be presented, as well as applications of the procedures to iron-nickel-chromium alloys, aluminum alloys, and low-alloy steels.
