Abstract
The feasibility of analyzing steel samples by direct introduction into a helium/hydrogen mixed-gas capacitively coupled microwave plasma was assessed with steel standard reference materials (NIST 442-450). Linear calibration curves were obtained for various concentration ranges. Limits of detection for Sn and Pb were 5 μg/g and 0.08 μg/g, respectively.
