Precise carbon analysis in the refractory metals titanium and zirconium

Titanium and Zirconium tend to react with carbon to form metal carbides that have an influence on the material properties. Therefore, the carbon content in these matrices needs to be monitored precisely during production and usage for various applications.

This Application Note demonstrates how the combustion method used in the inductar® CS cube inorganic elemental analyzer enables you to determine the amount of carbon highly accurately from some mass percent down to only few parts per million.
