Subject: [XRF] Xrf old faucet
Hi guys
I have done this before in the old forum
This time with better results?
My faucet spout has a??silvery shiny surface with some mottling.Blocked by water deposits due water stagnation.
But I have a confession to make
The faucet was??mounted on white rounded plaster holder at the base
Not in the path of the primary beam
The results show various elements?
Ni,Cu,Zn??,Pb and perhaps Fe
Ni is the??shiny outer coating?
Zinc is the faucet spout
Cu is coming from brass??within (Cu and Zn)
Pb from solder?
Fe if present from plates/escutcheon ?
Zn causing corrosion and??heavy deposits
This cheap Chinese Zn faucet is a bad choice?
Deposits are contributing too
That will be another topic
