Popis: A thermally tough, low-melting, low-viscosity glass composition is described that has been used as a fusion mixture in sample preparations for X-ray fluorescence analysis.The fusion mixture is cast into a glass disk which, after annealing, is used directly for the X-ray measurements. Problems arising from disk surface imperfections have, in the past, been minimized by either prolonged polishing of the glass surface, or grinding the disk and pressing the powder into a peltet. This practice has been eliminated through the incorporation of appropriate internal standard elements into the glass fusion mixture. This approach also minimizes interelement effects and errors due to instrumental drift.A variety of corrosion products have been successfully analyzed by this method. Results will be given.
