An attempt has been made to evaluate on the basis of simple physical theories the principal possibilities and limitations of the X‐ray fluorescence method in determining both principal components and other alloying elements as well as impurities in relatively complex alloy systems. The text refers specifically to the analysis of copper‐based alloys, but the principles are general ones and the arguments can easily be applied to other systems.
