ASTM E539-07

This method is suitable for providing data on the chemical composition of 6Al-4V titanium alloys for the scope elements. It is intended to be used for routine production control and for determination of chemical composition for the purpose of certifying material specification compliance. Additionally, the analytical performance data included with this method may be used as a benchmark to determine if similar X-ray spectrometers provide equivalent precision and accuracy.

1.1 This test method covers the X-ray fluorescence analysis of 6Al-4V titanium alloy for the following elements in the ranges indicated:

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given in Section 10.
