Abstract

The main objective of this paper was to assess three leaded brass samples (pending application with Copper Devel- opment Association) using optical microscopy and mass spectrometry to compare the distribution of lead. Based on the mass spectrometry data, a great deal of variation was not found within each of the samples based on five different sample locations. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed that the lead was homogenously distributed in brass.
