| Abstract | ||
| In this work, a nuclear gauge, based on single and dual energy γ-ray transmissions, has been developed and used to determine the concentrations of the aluminum component in copper-aluminum alloy. Disk foils of 7.07 cm2 area and thicknesses ranging from 0.48 to 0.834 cm have been prepared from the alloy to be used as targets for the γ-ray photons. Criteria for the best choice of the suitable photon energies for both single and dual energy γ-ray transmissions have been investigated. In this work, aluminum concentration values with an accuracy of 98.53% and 99.09% have been obtained by using both single and dual γ-ray energy transmission techniques, respectively. A comparison of the present results with those from the conventional chemical analysis indicates a fair agreement. A criterion for the best choice of the suitable γ-ray transmission technique for the aluminum determination has been investigated. | ||
