1.1 This test method covers analysis of nickel alloys by flame atomic absorption spectrometric analysis (FAAS) for the following elements:

Element	Concentration Range, %

Aluminum	0.2 to 4.0
Chromium	0.01 to 4.0
Cobalt	0.01 to 4.0
Copper	0.01 to 4.0
Iron	0.1 to 4.0
Manganese	0.1 to 4.0
Silicon	0.2 to 1.0
Vanadium	0.05 to 1.0

1.2 The concentration range of these elements can be expanded by the use of appropriate standards.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazards associated with the use of this test method, see Practices E 50 and the warning statements included in this test method.
