Mass Spectrometry of Aerospace Materials.

Abstract

Mass spectrometry is used for chemical analysis of aerospace materials and contaminants. Years of analytical aerospace experience have resulted in the development of specialized techniques of sampling and analysis which are required in order to optimize results. This work has resulted in the evolution of a hybrid method of indexing mass spectra which includes both the largest peaks and the structurally significant peaks in a concise format. With this system, a library of mass spectra of aerospace materials has been assembled, including the materials responsible for 80 to 90 percent of the contamination problems at Goddard Space Flight Center during the past several years. jg p2
