MUMBAI, India, June 19 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617054661 A) filed by Dte Ehf. on April 29, 2026, for Improved Method For Enabling Accurate Measurements Of High Vapor Pressure Elements In Molten Metal Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy.
Inventors include Lesson, Kristjn; and Rarinsdttir, Kristbjrg Anna.
The application for the patent was published on June 05, 2026, under issue no. 23/2026.
Abstract: A method for allowing reproducible, precise, and substantially temperature independent quantitative measurements of one or more high vapor pressure elements in a liquid metal or alloy sample using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) or other similar methods. The method introduces one or more selectively reactive species and a substantially inert carrier gas to modify the local environment at and around the sampling point of the liquid metal or alloy. This results in a significant and immediate reduction of the vapor effects on LIBS signals of high vapor pressure species in metal or alloy melts, partially eliminating the temperature-dependence of the high vapor pressure elements and their dependence on spurious environmental factors, reducing the associated uncertainty in the LIBS measurements.
