Objective The aim of this project is to develop a new, quantitative depth profiling method, that permits a rapid multi-element analysis of non conductive surface layers on steels (paints, polymers, enamels, etc.). The proposed method is based on quantitative depth profile analysis by radio frequency glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (FR GD-OES). The method is estimated to fulfil the following technical specifications:- erosion rate 0.1-1 µm/s in the non-conducting layers;- minimum information depth (<5 nm);- multi-element capability of > 20 elements in a single measurement; - quantification of major and minor elements (> 1 %) with an accuracy better than 10 %.
