【国外标准】 Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Tool Steels and Other Similar Medium- and High-Alloy Steels

4.1 These test methods for the chemical analysis of metals and alloys are primarily intended as referee methods to test such materials for compliance with compositional specifications particularly those under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel, Stainless Steel, and Related Alloys. It is assumed that all who use these test methods will be trained analysts capable of performing common laboratory procedures skillfully and safely. It is expected that work will be performed in a properly equipped laboratory under appropriate quality control practices such as those described in Guide E882.1.1 These test methods cover the chemical analysis of tool steels and other similar medium- and high-alloy steels having chemical compositions within the following limits:Element Composition Range, %Aluminum   0.005 to 1.5Boron   0.001 to 0.10Carbon   0.03  to 2.50Chromium   0.10  to 14.0Cobalt   0.10  to 14.0Copper   0.01  to 2.0Lead   0.001 to 0.01Manganese   0.10  to 15.00Molybdenum   0.01  to 10.00Nickel   0.02  to 4.00Nitrogen   0.001 to 0.20Phosphorus   0.002 to 0.05Silicon   0.10  to 2.50Sulfur   0.002 to 0.40Tungsten   0.01  to 21.00Vanadium   0.02  to 5.501.2 The test methods in this standard are contained in the sections indicated below:    SectionsCarbon, Total, by the Combustion— Thermal Conductivity Method— Discontinued 1986   125–135Carbon, Total, by the Combustion Gravimetric Method—Discontinued 2012   78–88Chromium by the Atomic Absorption Spectrometry Method (0.006 % to 1.00 %) 174–183Chromium by the Peroxydisulfate Oxidation—Titration Method   (0.10 % to 14.00 %) 184–192Chromium by the Peroxydisulfate-Oxidation Titrimetric Method—Discontinued 1980   117–124Cobalt by the Ion-Exchange— Potentiometric Titration Method     (2 % to 14 %)  52–59Cobalt by the Nitroso-R-Salt  Spectrophotometric Method  (0.10 % to 5.0 %)  60–69Copper by the Neocuproine  Spectrophotometric Method  (0.01 % to 2.00 %) 89–98Copper by the Sulfide Precipitation- Electrodeposition Gravimetric Method   (0.01 % to 2.0 %)  70–77Lead by the Ion-Exchange—Atomic  Absorption Spectrometry Method (0.001 % to 0.01 %) 99–108Manganese by the Periodate  Spectrophotometric Method  (0.10 % to 5.00 %) 9–18Molybdenum by the Ion Exchange– 8-Hydroxyquinoline Gravimetric Method    203–210Molybdenum by the Thiocyanate Spectrophotometric Method  (0.01 % to 1.50 %) 162–173Nickel by the Dimethylglyoxime Gravimetric Method (0.1 % to 4.0 %) 144–151Phosphorus by the Alkalimetric Method  (0.01 % to 0.05 %) 136–143Phosphorus by the Molybdenum Blue  Spectrophotometric Method (0.002 % to 0.05 %) 19–29Silicon by the Gravimetric Method  (0.10 % to 2.50 %) 45–51Sulfur by the Gravimetric Method—Discontinued 1988   29–35Sulfur by the Combustion-Iodate  Titration Method—Discontinued 2012   36–44Sulfur by the Chromatographic Gravimetric Method—Discontinued 1980   109–116Tin by the Solvent Extraction— Atomic Absorption Spectrometry Method (0.002 % to 0.10 %) 152–161Vanadium by the Atomic Absorption Spectrometry Method (0.006 % to 0.15 %) 193–2021.3 Test methods for the determination of carbon and sulfur not included in this standard can be found in Test Methods E1019.1.4 Some of the composition ranges given in 1.1 are too broad to be covered by a single test method and therefore this standard contains multiple test methods for some elements. The user must select the proper test method by matching the information given in the and Interference sections of each test method with the composition of the alloy to be analyzed.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific hazards statements are given in Section 6 and in special “Warning” paragraphs throughout these test methods.1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
