Direct Measurement of Trace Contamination on Metallic Surfaces Using ATR-FTIR
10 Feb 2012

In this note aluminum samples were analyzed for hydrocarbon surface contamination without the need for sample preparation. This sampling technique offered fast results to assess residual oil contamination. The methodology presented could be adapted as an incoming materials screening test, or as a processing evaluation tool.
