Several procedures for X‐ray fluorescence analysis of slag including acid solution and fusing methods are compared. For eliminating erros due to inter‐element effects, heavy element addition and calculation methods are considered. Data of precision and accuracy are given for eleven different combinations. For routine operation fusing with borax and casting of a bead is recommended. Fusion in a semi‐automatic bead production machine is time‐saving, simple and more precise than manual operation and is described in some detail.
