Claim 4:
5. The method as recited in claim 4, further comprising:
normalizing a net peak area of each of the energy counts for each of the plurality of channels to generate an elemental composition signature for the first one of the plurality of metal alloy pieces; and
comparing the elemental composition signature for the first one of the plurality of metal alloy pieces on an element-by-element basis to one or more known elemental composition signatures, wherein the one or more known elemental composition signatures each correspond to a different aluminum alloy composition, wherein the first one of the plurality of metal alloy pieces is classified as having the first metal alloy composition when the elemental composition signature for the first one of the plurality of metal alloy pieces matches with the known elemental composition signature corresponding to the first metal alloy composition.
