Samples Containing Titanium

Alloys

In those alloys where titanium exists as the base metal, methods of solution can be employed as given in The Metal section above, usually some combination of acids including hydrofluoric. For alloys where Ti is one of the lesser constituents, the use of concentrated nitric acid, Aqua Regia or a mixture of acids suitable to dissolution of the base metals is used. After the sample is dissolved, make certain to keep the acid content of the final solution sufficiently high to avoid hydrolysis (see Hydrolytic Stability and Preferred Matrices below).
