1 Scope

This standard specifies the perchloric acid dehydration gravimetric method for the determination of silicon content in iron, steel, high temperature alloy and precious alloy.
This standard is applicable to determination of 0.10% (m/m)~6.00% (m/m) silicon content in iron, steel, high temperature alloy and precious alloy.

3 Method Summary

Dissolve the specimen with hydrochloric acid and nitric acid dissolution, dehydrate silicic acid with perchloric acid smoking, filter and clean the silicic acid and then firing it into silicon dioxide. Handle it with sulfuric acid -hydrofluoric acid, make it produce silicon tetrafluoride which is volatilized and removed. Calculate the silicon contents according to the mass difference after the removal of silicon.
