Abstract：Accurate analysis of trace substances is a technical guarantee to control major risks, which is of great practical significance to use and service performance of materials as well as environmental safety. Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) has attracted much attention in recent years due to its advantages in simple operation and high sensitivity. This technique makes use of the absorption of atomic resonance radiation by testing elements in the vapor state for quantitative analysis. The application of GFAAS in analysis of trace elements were reviewed, including the heating program in atomizer, high-resolution continuum source and chemical matrix modification technology. Then its application in trace characterization of nano materials and trace analysis in metal materials were introduced. The main technical parameters were listed, and the problems in analytical method establishment and application of this instrument were pointed out. Moreover, focusing on the recent work in our research group, the current standard system and application progress of GFAAS in determination of impurity elements in superalloys were also reviewed.
