scope:
1.1 This test method2 covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by wavelength dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry for the determination of the following elements:
| Element | Range, Mass Fraction% |
| Chromium | 2.0 to 25.0 |
| Cobalt | 0.03 to 0.40 |
| Copper | 0.05 to 3.50 |
| Manganese | 0.3 to 5.0 |
| Molybdenum | 0.15 to 3.5 |
| Nickel | 0.20 to 35.0 |
| Niobium | 0.05 to 1.3 |
| Phosphorus | 0.01 to 0.03 |
| Silicon | 0.05 to 0.20 |
| Sulfur | 0.02 to 0.30 |
| Titanium | 0.002 to 0.04 |
| Vanadium | 0.03 to 0.25 |
Note 1-Unless exceptions are noted, mass fraction ranges can be extended by the use of suitable reference materials.
1.2 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.
