title: Determination of silver in irons and steels by atomic-absorption spectrometry with an induction furnace: Direct analysis of solid samples.
abstract: The silver contents of 17 irons and steels have been determined by dropping 0.5-20mg of millings or turnings of the metals into an induction furnace situated within an atomic-absorption spectrophotometer. The limit of detection was 0.005 mug/g and the relative standard deviations were 12% or better for silver contents of not less than 0.05 mug/g. Samples are added to the furnace at 4-5 min intervals.
