22、 (normative).EN 24491-1:1993 BSI 11-1999 3 Introduction In powder metallurgy, the purity of the powders is an important parameter for the manufacture of sintered metals. Among the various impurities which may be present in a powder, oxygen plays a particular role as it is always present in any metal

23、 or alloy powder, and in amounts greater than those encountered in compact metals. Oxygen is mostly combined in the form of oxides which appear in the following ways: Oxide film coatings on particle surfaces, spontaneously formed by oxidation of the metal by air or moisture during powder preparation

24、 and during handling and storage. Oxide inclusions, being either oxides of the main metal remaining locally unreduced during the production process (in the case of reduced powders), or other oxide impurities originating from the raw material and/or from the equipment (e.g.refractory ceramics from me

25、lting furnace in atomization processes). In practice, oxygen contents in metallic powders lie mostly in the range 0,1% (m/m) to1% (m/m). The determination of oxygen content can be made by means of many physical or chemical methods, for example a) specific methods, such as activation analysis or mass

26、 spectrometry, in which the element O is directly determined; b) reduction methods, in which oxides present are, totally or partially, reduced by hydrogen or by carbon. Oxygen content is related, either to the loss of mass of the sample through reduction, or to the amount of water or CO/CO 2produced

27、 by the reaction; c) separation methods, in which either the oxide phase is selectively dissolved and determined chemically (for example in copper powder, where copper oxide is dissolved by hydrochloric acid); or the metal phase is selectively dissolved, and the insoluble residue (assumed to be oxid

28、e) is evaluated (for example in aluminium powder, aluminium is dissolved in bromine-methanol reagent, leaving aluminium oxide). The present International Standard considers only reduction methods, as these are commonly used in laboratories for analysing a great variety of metal powders. 1 Scope This

29、 part of ISO4491is the first part of a series dealing with the determination of oxygen content in metallic powders by reduction methods. It gives general guidance to these methods, and gives some recommendations for the correct interpretation of the results obtained. The test methods are applicable

30、generally to all powders of metals, alloys, carbides and mixtures thereof. The constituents of the powder shall be non-volatile under the conditions of test. The powder shall be free of lubricant or organic binder. However, there exist certain limitations which depend upon the nature of the analysed

31、 metal. These limitations are discussed in clause4. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO4491. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revi

32、sion, and parties to agreements based on this part of ISO4491 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. ISO 4491-2:1989, Metallic powders D

The powder shall be tested in the as-received condition. Metallic powders are frequently

35、 reactive substances with respect to air and moisture. Therefore, particular attention shall be given to adequate conditions for handling and storage of the test sample. The test portion shall be taken immediately prior to the analysis.EN 24491-1:1993 4 BSI 11-1999 4 Meaning of the results according

36、 to the method used 4.1 Hydrogen as a reducing agent 4.1.1 At the test temperatures prescribed in the determination, only the following metals have oxides totally reducible by hydrogen: Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Ag, Sn, Pb, W, Mo, Re All other common oxides are not reducible, in particular Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 ,

37、ZrO 2and other oxides of alkali, alkali-earth and most rare-earth metals. Oxides of chromium, manganese, titanium, and vanadium may be partially reducible. 4.1.2 However, other reactions with constituents of the powder take place during the reduction process: a) Water vapour and/or hydrocarbons pres

38、ent in the sample, and also gases, which possibly by adsorption or occlusion are contained in the powder, are released during heating. b) Elements, such as carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, free or combined in the powder, may be completely or partially removed, either because they are volatile o

39、r because they react with hydrogen or with oxides in the powder, forming volatile compounds. c) Some metals present in the powder, such as lead, tin, cadmium, zinc, may be partially or completely volatilized, depending on the test conditions. d) Carbon present in the powder can also reduce oxides un

40、der the specified test conditions, and possibly also oxides that normally are not reduced or are only partially reduced by hydrogen, such as chromium, manganese and vanadium oxides. e) Alloy powders containing metallic elements with high affinity for oxygen, such as chromium, manganese, silicon, alu

41、minium and titanium, may be oxidized during the test by reaction with the atmosphere or with less refractory oxides, entailing an apparent decrease of measured oxygen content. 4.1.3 In the loss in hydrogen method (ISO 4491-2), the loss of mass of the test portion, when submitted to a specified heat

42、treatment in hydrogen, is measured. Originally this test was considered to give an estimate of the oxygen content of a metal powder, the oxide of which is reducible by hydrogen. However, with the advent of more complex or alloyed powders, all the reactions considered above(4.1.2) may contribute, pos

43、itively or negatively, to the measured loss of mass. Therefore this test method is purely conventional and its reproducibility requires a scrupulous respect of the operating procedure. This method is commonly used in routine control of powders of certain defined metals as stated in ISO4491-2. 4.1.4

44、In the method determination of oxygen emanating from hydrogen-reducible oxides (ISO4491-3), the quantity of water formed by hydrogen reduction of these oxides is measured by titration. In comparison with the loss in hydrogen method, this method is more specific for the following reasons: The interfe

45、rence of moisture and adsorbed gases is prevented by pre-treatment at low temperature. With a slight modification of the procedure, it is possible to determine the water content of the sample. The interference of metalloids and of volatile metals is avoided. However, interference of carbon present i

46、n the sample may have to be taken into account. Some part of the metal oxides, which otherwise may have been reduced by hydrogen, are reduced by carbon, producing carbon monoxide or dioxide, which are not measured by water titration. Consequently a lower result will be obtained. Therefore two altern

47、ative methods are specified: Method 1: Oxygen content corresponding to hydrogen-reducible oxides, without taking into account carbon interference. This method is applicable in practice when the sampled powder is known to be almost free of carbon for example C 0,02% (m/m) or the carbon present is in

48、an unreactive form. Then the result represents the oxygen content from hydrogen-reducible oxides. Method 2: Oxygen content corresponding to hydrogen-reducible oxides, taking into account carbon interference. In this method the CO+CO 2gases released by carbon reduction of some of the oxides and conta

49、ined in the H 2carrier gas, are quantitatively converted to methane and water on a nickel catalyst at380 C. The total water determined represents the oxygen content emanating from hydrogen-reducible oxides, irrespective of whether the actual reduction has taken place by means of hydrogen or carbon.EN 24491-1:1993 BSI 11-1999 5 NOTEWith reference to4.1.2 d), certain oxides may be partially reduced by carbon, i.e.oxides which otherwise would not be reduced by hydrogen. In such a case, the test condition
