Abstract

A simple, rapid and non-destructive method is described for determining tungsten in steels over the concentration range 0.08 to about 3% by mass. The method uses the low energy gamma-rays induced in183W by neutrons from the 3 MeV bombardment of beryllium with deuterons. The precision is normally better than 10%.
