WK40596, Test Method for the Analysis of Nickel Alloys by Spark Atomic Emission Spectrometry, will provide labs with guidance on using a spark emission spectrometer to set up for and properly analyze nickel alloys, which are used for jet-engine components as well as oil and gas drilling. Standard will also include detailed wavelength information that helps configure a spectrometer. Precision and bias data included in standard will serve as benchmark for labs to compare results.
