Abstract

In ceramics and powders containing carbon, macro amounts of nitrogen in the range of 12% to 15% can be well determined by photon activation analysis (17 MeV) and consecutive decay curve analysis of the 0.511 MeV annihilation peak in the gamma-spectrum. An accuracy of 1% to 3% (relative) was obtained for TiCN/N.
