Bulk Analysis of Cast and Wrought Aluminum Alloys with GDS900

Aluminum alloys are widely used in aerospace and other structural applications due to their strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. This application note describes elemental determination of aluminum casting and wrought alloys using the LECO GDS900 glow discharge atomic emission spectrometer, which delivers uniform sputtering, reduced spectral interferences, and stable, linear performance for routine production and quality control analysis.
