Abstract

A rapid method for the determination of Al, V and Ti has been developed and is used for the analysis of these elements in different ores and alloys. An isotopic neutron source252Cf having a thermal neutron flux of the order of 8.5×107 n·cm−2 sec−1 has been used for thermal neutron bombardment. Activity measurements were performed on a HPGe detector coupled to a PC based MCA unit. Depending on the half-life of the (n, γ) product, different irradiation and cooling times were employed and thus the elements of interest were analyzed sequentially.
