Refractory products — Determination of reduced species in carbon containing refractories by XRD

This document describes methods for the determination of mineralogical phases often present as additives or reaction products in carbon containing or graphitic refractory products by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) using a Bragg-Brentano diffractometer. It includes details of sample preparation and general principles for qualitative and quantitative analysis of mineralogical phase composition. Quantitative determination of α-Si3N4, β-Si3N4, AlN, aluminium metal, Al4C3, silicon metal, boron carbide and BN are described. The problems encountered with some determinations are highlighted. Additional reduced species present in some refractories could include Al2O3⋅AlN solid solutions (so called Alons), Si3N4⋅SiO2 solid solutions and Si3N4⋅Al2O3 solid solutions (Sialons). The presence of some of these solid solution components will cause problems with both identification and quantification as they are not well-defined structures. NOTE For rationalisation of nitrogen containing phases, the total nitrogen content, analysed in accordance with EN 12698-1 is used.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

3.1
carbon containing refractories
refractory products containing greater than 20% carbon where carbon is dominantly added in the
manufacturing process in the form of graphite, pitch, tar, resin or similar
Note 1 to entry: For refractories in which silicon carbide is the dominant form of carbon isare beyond the scope of
this document, refer to EN 12698-2.
4 Apparatus
4.1 X-ray diffractometer
Generally comprising of but not limited to:
Bragg-Brentano X-ray diffractometer. The diffractometer will comprise of goniometer, X-ray source
(normally copper X-ray tube), incidence beam optics, diffracted beam optics, specimen stage, detector
and data collection system. More detail on suitable systems can be found in EN 13925-3.
The equipment should be aligned and calibrated as detailed in EN 13925-3.

[1]
For samples containing a considerable amount of an iron (as Fe), a Cobalt X-ray tube shall be used
[1]
instead of a Copper X-ray tube due to fluorescence of the iron by the copper X-rays . In the case of
Cobalt X-ray tube, the diffractometer angles stated in this standard will need to be re calculated.
4.2 Software
Capable of peak matching, whole pattern fitting and Rietveld refinement for phase quantification.
5 Instrument performance
The instrument should be capable of the following performance parameters as defined in Annex C of
EN 13925-3):
The peak position of major peaks for a certified reference material shall not deviate by more than
