The effect of simultaneous acceleration and fragmentation on the charge composition of the iron group Z between 21 and 26 was investigated. A pure Fe-56 source was assumed and several acceleration mechanisms and potential path length distributions were applied. The iron particles were injected at 40 MeV/nucleon and accelerated to 300 and 1000 MeV/nucleon. It is found that the ratio of the density of nuclei with atomic numbers equal to, or composed between 21 and 25 to the density of iron nuclei depends only weakly on the energy at which matter is traversed. It is, however, a good measure of the amount of matter traversed. The ratio of the density of Ti nuclei to density of Cr nuclei depends on the acceleration mechanism to a degree which makes it possible to distinguish between different acceleration mechanisms from measurements.
