Determining Oxygen and Nitrogen in Refractory Metals with ON736

Oxygen and nitrogen play a critical role in the mechanical properties of titanium alloys, influencing strength, hardness, and surface embrittlement. This application note describes the simultaneous determination of oxygen and nitrogen using the LECO ON736, which employs an electrode furnace, inert carrier gas, and infrared and thermal conductivity detection to support precise quality control in refractory metal applications.
