In the X‐ray fluorescence analysis of steels, a correction method is usually used so as to eliminate interfering spectrum overlap and absorption–enhancement effects. In correcting the former, the intensity correction method, by which measured x‐ray intensity is corrected, is widely used. In the JIS method of x‐ray fluorescence analysis of steels, however, the measured x‐ray intensity is first converted into a tentative analytical value, and this value is then corrected for absorption–enhancement effects and finally for interfering spectrum overlap. In this report, a detailed comparison of both methods is made, and the characteristics of the JIS method are discussed.
