Abstract
Cold neutron prompt gamma-ray activation analysis (CNPGAA) has proven useful for the analysis of hydrogen in titanium alloys. The analysis i s nondestructive, measures the entire sample, and the results are inde pendent of the chemical form of hydrogen present. We have used the tec hnique to measure H mass fractions as low as 50 mg/kg in titanium-allo y jet-engine compressor blades and to measure hydrogen in standards fo r neutron tomography.
