Abstract
Many studies have been made on the relationships between light alloys and gases.
But few papers have been reported on gas analysis of light alloys, containing volatile constituents (i. e. Mg, Zn etc.). These constituents evaporate under vacuum condition, and cause the contamination of apparatus and readsorption of gases due to sublimation. Accordingly, it is difficult to obtain the reliable gas content in these alloys.
The authors solved this problem by using a thin capsule of aluminium or steel in which the sample was enveloped.
The procedure of this method are described in detail, and a few experimental results on magnesium, zinc, Mg-Zn alloy and Al-Mg alloy are also referred.
