EN 10211:2013 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of titanium in steels and cast irons. The method is applicable to non-alloyed and alloyed steels and cast irons with titanium contents of 0,01 % to 1,0 % (m/m). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 648, Laboratory glassware - Single-volume pipettes (ISO 648) EN ISO 1042, Laboratory glassware - One-mark volumetric flasks (ISO 1042) EN ISO 14284, Steel and iron - Sampling and preparation of samples for the determination of chemical composition (ISO 14284) 3 Principle Two dissolution procedures are possible and described: a) The first one is specific to cast irons and is based on dissolution of the test portion with nitric and perchloric acids, followed by evaporation with perchloric acid to dryness. The further steps being a separation of the insolubilised silica by filtration and collection of the filtrate. b) The second one, which can be used for steels as well as for cast irons is based on dissolution of the test portion with hydrochloric and nitric acid. This dissolution is followed by: 1) filtration and ignition of the acid insoluble residue and removal of silica with hydrofluoric acid; 2) fusion of the residue with a mixture of boric acid and sodium carbonate, dissolution of the melt with acid and addition of this solution to the reserved filtrate. Addition of aluminium chloride as interaction buffer, in both cases. Nebulisation of the test solution into a slightly fuel rich nitrous oxide/acetylene flame, of an atomic absorption spectrometer. Spectrometric measurement of the atomic absorption of the 365,3 nm (or 364,3 nm) spectral line emitted by a titanium hollow-cathode lamp. 4 Reagents During the analysis, use only reagents of recognised analytical grade and only distilled water or water of equivalent purity. 4.1 Nitric acid, HNO3 (20 = 1,40 g/ml). 4.2 Hydrochloric acid, 20 = 1,19 g/ml).

Dissolve 90 g of hydrated aluminium chloride (ALCl3 . 6H2O) in a 600 ml beaker with water and transfer the solution into a 1 000 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix well. 4.9 Fusion mixture. Mix one part by mass of boric acid, H3BO3 and one part of sodium carbonate anhydrous, Na2CO3. Store in a stoppered polyethylene container. 4.10 Iron-perchloric matrix solution, 20 g/l Fe. Weigh, to the nearest 0,01 g, 10,00 g of pure iron free of titanium or of known low titanium content. Transfer into a 600 ml beaker and cover with a watch glass. Add in small portions, 150 ml of nitric acid (4.6). When effervescence ceases, add 200 ml of perchloric acid (4.3). Heat gently, until the iron is completely dissolved. Continue heating at a temperature at which a steady reflux of white perchloric acid fumes is maintained on the walls of the beaker. Continue heating until there are no perchloric acid fumes visible inside the beaker and the iron perchlorate crystallises. Allow to cool, add 150 ml of water, swirl and boil gently to dissolve the salts. Transfer quantitatively into a 500 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix. 4.11 Iron–chloro nitric matrix solution, 20 g/l Fe. Weigh, to the nearest 0,01 g, 20,00 g of pure iron free of titanium or of known low titanium content. Transfer into a 600 ml beaker, add 200 ml of water and then 220 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.2), in small portions. Cover with a watch glass and heat gently until effervescence ceases. Add gradually 60 ml of nitric acid (4.1). Heat for about 10 min at about 80 °C, to expel nitrous fumes. Allow to cool and transfer quantitatively into a 1 000 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Add water until about 600 ml and add 20 g of fusion mixture (4.9). Dissolve, dilute to the mark with water and mix. 4.12 Titanium, 1 g/l standard solution. Weigh (1 ± 0,001) g of titanium (99,99 % purity), transfer into a 400 ml beaker and cover with a watch glass. Dissolve it in 200 ml of hydrochloric acid solution (4.7) and add two drops of hydrofluoric acid (4.5). Heat gently until the metal is dissolved. After cooling, transfer the solution quantitatively into a 1 000 ml one-mark volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with water and mix well. SIST EN 10211:2014

This shall be equipped with a titanium hollow-cathode lamp and supplied with nitrous oxide and acetylene sufficiently pure to give a a clear, steady slightly fuel-rich flame, free from water and oil, and free from titanium. The atomic absorption spectrometer used will be satisfactory if, after optimisation according to 7.5, the limit of detection and characteristic concentration are in reasonable agreement with the values given by the manufacturer and it meets the precision criteria given in 5.2.1 to 5.2.3. It is also recommended that the instrument should conform to the additional performance requirements given in 5.2.4. 5.2.1 Minimum precision. Calculate the standard deviation of 10 measurements of the absorbance of the most concentrated calibration solution. The standard deviation shall not exceed 1,5 % of the mean absorbance of this solution. Calculate the standard deviation of 10 measurements of the absorbance of the least concentrated calibration solution (excluding the zero member). The standard deviation shall not exceed 0,5 % of the mean absorbance of the most concentrated calibration solution. 5.2.2 Limit of detection. The limit of detection is a number, expressed in units of concentration (or amount) that describes the lowest concentration level (or amount) of an element that can be determined to be statistically different from an analytical blank. The limit of detection of titanium in a matrix similar to that of the final test portion solution shall be better than 0,2 µg/ml for the 365,3 nm line and better than 0,1 µg/ml for the 364,3 nm line.

5.2.3 Linearity of calibration. The value of the slope of the calibration graph covering the top 20 % of the concentration range (expressed as a change in absorbance) shall not be less than 0,7 times the value of the slope for the bottom 20 % of the concentration range (expressed as a change in absorbance) determined in the same way. For instruments with automatic calibration using two or more standard solutions, it shall be established prior to the analysis, by obtaining absorbance readings, that the above requirements for graph linearity are fulfilled. 5.2.4 Characteristic concentration. The characteristic concentration for titanium in a matrix similar to the final test portion solution shall be better than 1,9 µg/ml for the 365,3 nm line and better than 1,4 µg/ml for the 364,3 nm line. 5.3 Ancillary equipment. A system for acquisition of the measured values, data processing and evaluation is necessary. Usually data processing and evaluation is performed with the appropriate software of the computer, connected to the atomic absorption spectrometer. Scale expansion can be used until the noise observed is greater than the read-out error and is preferred for absorbances below 0,1. If scale expansion has to be used and
