title: Mass-spectrometric multielement analysis of copper and copper-base alloys, with electrical detection.
abstract: Relative sensitivity coefficients have been determined for 21 elements in copper and its alloys, with iron as an internal standard, by spark-source mass-spectrometry with electrical detection and magnetic peak-switching. Twenty calibration standards ranging from pure copper to 60%-copper alloys were used. The sensitivity coefficients measured appear to be independent of the elemental concentration and are obtained with a mean precision of 15%.
