Overview

EN ISO 4829-1:2018 specifies a laboratory spectrophotometric method for the determination of total silicon in steel and cast iron using the reduced molybdosilicate reaction. Part 1 of the series covers silicon mass fractions between 0.05 % and 1.0 %. The method defines the chemical principle, reagents, apparatus, sampling, analytical procedure, calibration and reporting requirements for reliable silicon measurement in ferrous materials.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Principle: dissolution of a test portion, fusion of acid-insoluble residue with sodium peroxide, formation of oxidized molybdosilicate (yellow) and selective reduction to a blue complex with ascorbic acid; final spectrophotometric measurement at about 810 nm.
• Applicable range: 0.05 % to 1.0 % silicon (mass fraction).
• Reagents and quality control:
  • Use reagents of recognized analytical grade and grade 2 water (ISO 3696); avoid ion-exchange demineralized water because of colloidal silica.
  • Fresh preparation and storage of reagent solutions in polypropylene or PTFE containers; caution about moisture uptake by reagents in glass bottles.
  • Key reagents include sodium peroxide for fusion, sodium molybdate, potassium permanganate, ascorbic acid, oxalic acid and controlled acid mixtures.
• Procedure essentials:
  • Defined sample dissolution and treatment of insoluble residues.
  • Preparation of calibration solutions and establishment of a calibration curve.
  • Blank tests, spectrophotometric measurements and calculation of silicon content.
• Interference control: addition of oxalic acid and increase of sulphuric acid concentration to suppress interferences from phosphorus, arsenic and vanadium.
• Documentation: requirements for expression of results, precision data, and test reporting are included.

Applications and users

This standard is intended for:

• Metallurgical and chemical analysis laboratories performing silicon determination in steels and cast irons.
• Quality control and compliance testing in steel mills, foundries and metal component manufacturers.
• Research laboratories and certification bodies needing standardized, repeatable methods for alloy composition control. Practical benefits include consistent, reproducible silicon assay for process control, specification compliance and material certification.

• ISO 14284 - Sampling and preparation of samples for chemical composition determination.
• ISO 3696 - Water for analytical laboratory use (grade 2).
• ISO 648, ISO 1042 - Laboratory glassware (pipettes, volumetric flasks).

4 Principle
Dissolution of a test portion in an acid mixture appropriate to the alloy composition.
Fusion of the acid-insoluble residue with sodium peroxide. Formation of the oxidized molybdosilicate
(yellow) complex in weak acid solution.
Selective reduction of the molybdosilicate complex to a blue complex with ascorbic acid, after increasing

ISO 4829-1:2018(E)
5 Reagents
During the analysis, unless otherwise specified, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and
only grade 2 water as specified in ISO 3696. Water demineralized by ion-exchange shall not be used as
it may contain significant amounts of colloidal silica.
Reagents supplied in glass bottles, once opened, can absorb moisture and become reactive to glassware.
Alkaline reagents, e.g. sodium carbonate and sodium peroxide, are particularly susceptible.
To avoid the risk of significant contamination arising from this source, it is recommended that only
freshly opened bottles of all reagents be used for the preparation of reagent solutions.
To avoid adventitious contamination, the water shall be prepared, as required, for the specific purpose
and collected in polypropylen
