The concentrations of Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ga, Ge, Ir, Au and As in the metal phases of Jinlin (H
3), Xinyang (H
5), Zhaodong (L
5), Guangrao (L
6-5) and Dongtai (LL
6) ordinary chondrites in China are determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis, For each meteorite various metallic fractions were analyzed: <20 mesh, 20 -40 mesh, >40 mesh and so on. In terms of these results, the elemental distribution and fractional trends and the processes determining the composition of the metal phase are discussed.
