The invention relates to a method for screening heavy
metal elements in automobile
brake linings, which comprises the following steps: S1, selecting a base material matched with a to-be-detected sample matrix, and preparing a standard
powder tabletting group by adding heavy
metal compounds in a gradient manner; s2, detecting the standard tablet by using an X-
ray fluorescence spectrum, synchronously verifying by adopting ICP-AES (
Inductively Coupled Plasma-
Atomic Emission Spectrometry), and establishing an XRF
standard curve for matrix effect correction; s3, preparing a to-be-detected lining into a
powder tablet matched with a base material, and realizing quantitative screening of
heavy metals through XRF detection and
standard curve comparison; wherein the base material is selected from a
ceramic type or semi-
metal type
brake pad base material, and the deviation between the component content of the base material and the to-be-detected sample is less than or equal to 5wt%. The invention provides a heavy metal
screening method with rapidness, accuracy and economical efficiency, provides a reliable online
quality control means for the automobile
brake lining, and reduces the risk of heavy
metal pollution.
