Abstract

The impurities of 34 elements in tungsten by high-resolution glow discharge mass spectrometry was determined. The sample preparation for analysis is described. In order to achieve maximum analytical signals from all the elements corresponding equipment settings were selected. Spectral interferences were eliminated by using high resolution. Relative sensitivity coefficients for all determined elements were calculated using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.
