1、Designation: E1010 09E1010 16Standard Practice forPreparation of Disk Specimens of Steel and Iron byRemelting for Spectrochemical Analysis by Remelting1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1010; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption o

2、r, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes the preparation of disk specimens of steel and iron by

3、 melting chunks, chips, drillings, turnings, wire,or powder briquets with an electric arc in an argon atmosphere. Solidification of the specimen takes place in the crucible in an argonatmosphere. The disk obtained is suitable for quantitative spectrochemical analysis.1.2 The values stated in SI unit

4、s are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health pra

Summary of Practice4.1 The sample of steel or iron is placed in a water-cooled copper crucible. The furnace is flushed with argo

7、n at a controlledrate of flow. An arc is struck between the electrode and the sample material and is maintained until the melting is complete. Themolten specimen is allowed to solidify in the crucible in an argon atmosphere. After solidification, the specimen is removed fromthe crucible and prepared

8、 for spectrochemical analysis.4.2 Partial losses of some elements may be experienced during the melting of the disk specimen. This procedure, if carefullyfollowed, will provide consistent losses. Elemental losses can be determined by correlating the analysis of the charge material withthe spectroche

9、mical analysis of the remelted specimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 Most spectrochemical instruments employed for analyzing steel and iron require a solid specimen with a flat surface largeenough for analytical excitation and measurement procedures. This practice describes a procedure for converting

10、unusual types ofsteel and iron samples to satisfactory spectrochemical specimens.6.

20、her surface contaminates by suitable methods. Forconsistent melting, fine powders, chips, drillings, turnings, or wire may be compacted in a briquetting press with 35-mm die at apressure of 2800 kgf/mm2.10. Preparation of Specimens10.1 Place 40 g to 50 g of sample in the crucible. Close the furnace.

21、The melting of the sample and solidification of the specimenmay vary slightly depending on the design of the furnace and the type of metal being melted. Two suggested procedures are asfollows:10.1.1 Procedure AThe following steps are programmed automatically after pressing the start button: (1) flus

22、hing of thecrucible with argon for 30 s, (2) igniting the arc, (3) melting with the arc for 20 s to 45 s, (4) reduction of arc current from 500A to 250 A, (5) cooling the specimen in the crucible in inert gas for approximately 2 min, and (6) indication by light and buzzerthat the melt cycle is compl

23、eted. When the program is completed, open the furnace and remove the hot specimen with magnet orforceps.10.1.2 Procedure BEvacuate the crucible to a pressure of approximately 350 m of mercury. Flush the furnace with argon andevacuate. Reflush and evacuate a third time. Shut off the vacuum pump and f

24、lush the furnace with argon. Turn on the power supplyand lower the electrode until an arc is struck to the sample material (Note 1). Adjust the power supply current to 500 A. Raise orlower the electrode or move it in a circular motion to provide uniform melting and melt any particles that cling to t

25、he inside ofthe chamber. Melt for approximately 1 min, then turn off the power supply and raise the electrode. Allow the specimen to solidifyin the crucible in the argon atmosphere for approximately 2 min. Open the furnace and remove the specimen by tilting chamber.Catch the hot specimen in a suitab

26、le container.10.1.2.1 WarningWhen melting fine powders, use an initial current of 100Auntil the powders appear to be well fused. Raisethe current to 300 A and complete the melting. This prevents loss of sample because of splattering of the powder when the arc isfirst struck.NOTE 1If the determinatio

27、n of carbon in the specimen is required, use a thoriated-tungsten electrode. If the determination of tungsten or thorium isrequired, use a graphite electrode.11.

The large deviations are

46、 due to elementlosses or enrichment during melting which can be minimized by good melting technique, particularly for carbon, sulfur, andcopper. Cleaning the crucible between melts can reduce contamination errors, especially when widely differing materials aremelted. The physical appearance of the m

47、elted specimens will sometimes be an indication of the homogeneity.11.2 Bias:11.2.1 The data in Tables 1-3 show the average analyses for ferrous metals before melting and for melted specimens. While themajority of the average analyses of melted specimens compare favorably with the average analyses o

48、f the original ferrous metals,there are some precautions that need to be stated concerning this practice:11.2.1.1 Use of a graphite electrode increases the carbon concentrations considerably. Thoriated-tungsten electrodes arerecommended when carbon determinations are to be made on the melted specime

49、n.11.2.1.2 No statistical determinations were made for tungsten or thorium, however, analyses of the melted specimens indicatean increase of 0.001 % to 0.03 % tungsten when using a thoriated-tungsten electrode.11.2.1.3 Copper enrichment may occur as a result of faulty technique when using a circular-motion electrode holder.11.2.1.4 Cast iron samples tend to lose silicon during melting.11.2.1.5 The chromium average analysis increases for stainless steel materials when melted.12.
