Abstract

This work presents a correction method for reducing the uncertainty in the spectral intensity and quantitative prediction model by incorporating plasma acoustic pressure parameters (First peak value and First attenuation slope) and validated it in order to reduce the uncertainty in the quantitative analysis of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Mo, Al, Mn, and V elements in low and medium alloy steels were analyzed using a simultaneous plasma spectroscopy and acoustic pressure signal acquisition system. The relationship between the spectra and the acoustic pressure parameters was then examined in order to analyze the spectral intensities and the uncertainty of the quantitative prediction model after incorporating the acoustic pressure parameters. The findings indicate that, in comparison to the original spectra, the average relative standard deviation (ARSD%) of the spectral intensities of the elements Mo, Al, Mn, and V incorporated in the first peak of the sound pressure were reduced by approximately 50.32%, 44.33%, 52.74%, and 41.57%, respectively, and that of the elements incorporated in the first attenuation slopes were reduced by approximately 35.82%, 29.99%, 38.38%, and 24.66%, respectively. We discovered that the quantitative laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy model based on the plasma acoustic pressure parameter correction may also successfully lower the uncertainty of the projected elemental content values through prediction model cross-validation studies.
