PHYSICS LABORATORY MATERIAl-S CENTRAL WWBC P60s 26 EVALUATION REPORT Anal yeis ot Foreign Material TYPE EVALUATION: SUBMITTED BY: APU ITI!M SE'" AL N .. : To determine the composition or material sent to ATIC from Syracuse, New Two samples of foreign material \Jere received and assigned Physics Laborator.y lrumbera 6177 end 6178. The samples were analyzed b7 emission spectroscopy, :infrared, and J;-ray dif'fraction. Emission spectrochemical analysis provided these datas Principal -Calcium Majora -Silicon, manesi,nn, manganese, aluninnm, iron, t~tanitnn Minor -Barium Traces -Nickel, copper, sodium, silver The jnfrared spectra of the samples were recorded spectra revealed no signi.ficant absorption bands. l inkages were very weak. end placed on file. The All carbon-hydrogen diffraction analysis indicated that the material is non-crystalline in structure and appears to be glass furnace slag. III. CONCLUSIONS Both samples appear to be of t same chemical composit i on.
