Metallic powders - Determination of oxygen content by reduction methods - Part 1: General guidelines (ISO 4491-1:2023)

Gives some recommendations for the correct interpretation of the results obtained. The test methods are applicable generally to all powders of metals, alloys, carbides and mixtures thereof. The constituents of the powder shall be non-volatile and free of lubricant or organic binder. The limitations of the methods which depend upon the nature of the analysed metal are discussed in clause 4.

Metallpulver - Bestimmung des Sauerstoffgehaltes durch Reduktionsverfahren - Teil 1: Allgemeine Hinweise (ISO 4491-1:2023)

Dieses Dokument ist das erste Dokument aus einer Reihe von Normen, die die Bestimmung des Sauerstoffgehalts in Metallpulvern durch Reduktionsverfahren behandelt. Es legt allgemeine Hinweise zu diesen Verfahren fest und enthält einige Empfehlungen für die korrekte Auswertung der erhaltenen Ergebnisse.
Die Prüfverfahren gelten in der Regel für alle Pulver aus Metallen, Legierungen, Carbiden und deren Mischungen. Die Pulverbestandteile dürfen unter den Versuchsbedingungen nicht flüchtig sein. Das Pulver muss frei von Gleitmitteln oder organischen Bindemitteln sein.
Es bestehen jedoch gewisse Beschränkungen aufgrund der Art des analysierten Metalls. Diese Beschränkungen werden in Abschnitt 4 behandelt.

Poudres métalliques - Dosage de l'oxygène par les méthodes de réduction - Partie 1: Directives générales (ISO 4491-1:2023)

Le présent document est la première partie d’une série de normes qui traitent du dosage par réduction de l’oxygène dans les poudres métalliques. Il donne des directives générales d’emploi des méthodes de réduction et des recommandations quant à l’interprétation correcte des résultats obtenus.
Les méthodes d’essai sont applicables d’une façon générale à toutes les poudres de métaux, d’alliages, de carbures et de mélanges de ces éléments. Les constituants de la poudre doivent être non volatils dans les conditions de l’essai. La poudre ne doit renfermer ni lubrifiant, ni liant organique.
II existe néanmoins certaines limites liées à la nature du métal analysé. Ces limites sont étudiées dans l’Article 4.

Kovinski praški - Določevanje kisika z metodami redukcije - 1. del: Splošne smernice (ISO 4491-1:2023)

Standard podaja priporočila za pravilno razlago pridobljenih rezultatov. Preskusne metode se splošno uporabljajo za kovinske praške, praške zlitin, karbidov in njihovih mešanic. Sestavine praška morajo biti nehlapne in brez maziv ali organskih veziv. Omejitve metod, ki so odvisne od narave analizirane kovine, so obravnavane v točki 4.

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 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 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 melting furnace in
atomization processes).
In practice, oxygen contents in metallic powders lie mostly in the range of a mass fraction of 0,1 % to a
mass fraction of 1 %.
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 spectrometry, in which the element 0 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/C0 produced by the reaction;
2
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 oxide) is
evaluated (for example in aluminium powder, aluminium is dissolved in bromine-methanol
reagent,
