This national standard specifies the method to determine the content of carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, nickel, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, aluminium, titanium, copper, niobium, cobalt, boron, zirconium, arsenic and tin in carbon and low alloy steel with spark discharge atomic emission spectra.
Method is applicable to the analysis of as-cast and forged/rolled samples from electric heater, induction furnace, electro-slag furnace and convertor.
This method may simultaneously measure the 19 elements in carbon steel and low alloy steel and each element measurement range are stated in Table 1.
