Significance and Use4.1 This practice covers all aspects of sampling and prepar-ing steel and iron for chemical analysis as defined in TestMethods, Practices, and Definitions
24、A 751 and SpecificationA 48/A 48M. Such subjects as sampling location and thesampling of lots are defined.4.2 It is intended that this practice include most require-ments for sampling steel and iron for analysis. Standardanalytical methods that reference this practice need containonly special modifi
25、cations and exceptions.4.3 It is assumed that all who use these procedures will betrained samplers capable of performing common samplingoperations skillfully and safely. It is expected that only propersampling equipment will be used.5. Hazards and Safety Precautions5.1 Provide personal protective eq
26、uipment to minimize therisk of injury during sampling and sample preparation meth-ods. Provisions shall include protective clothing, hand protec-tion, and face visors resistant to splashes of liquid metal for useduring the sampling of liquid metal; protective clothing andhand, eye, and hearing prote
27、ction for use during the samplingand sample preparation of solid metal; and respiratory protec-tion for use where necessary.5.2 The use of machinery for sampling and sample prepa-ration shall be in accordance with appropriate national stan-dards. Grinding operations used for surface preparation may
28、becovered by national legislation.5.3 Reference should be made to appropriate national regu-lations with respect to the use of solvents for the cleaning anddrying of samples and test portions.6. Requirements for Sampling and Sample Preparation6.1 General:6.1.1 This section describes the general requ
29、irements for thesample and for the sampling and sample preparation of ironand steel. Special requirements apply to each category of liquidand solid metal, and these requirements are described in therelevant section.6.1.2 The sequence of sampling and sample preparation ofliquid iron and steel and cas
30、t iron and steel products is shownin Fig. 1. Special considerations apply to pig irons (see Section10).6.2 Sample:6.2.1 Quality:6.2.1.1 Sampling practices shall be designed to provide ananalytical sample that is representative of the mean chemicalcomposition of the melt or of the sample product.6.2.
31、1.2 Ensure that the sample is sufficiently homogeneouswith respect to chemical composition so that inhomogeneitydoes not appreciably contribute to the error variability of themethod of analysis. In the case of a sample taken from a melt,however, some variability in analysis, both within and betweens
32、amples for analysis, may be unavoidable. This variability willform an inherent part of the repeatability and reproducibility ofthe analysis.6.2.1.3 Ensure that the sample is free from surface coatingsand from moisture, dirt, or other forms of contamination.E 1806 96 (2006)26.2.1.4 The sample should
33、be free from voids, cracks, andporosity, and from fins, laps, or other surface defects.6.2.1.5 Take particular care when selecting and preparingthe sample where a sample taken from a melt is expected to beheterogeneous or contaminated in any way.6.2.1.6 A sample taken from a melt shall be cooled in
34、sucha manner that the chemical composition and metallurgicalstructure of the sample is consistent from sample to sample.6.2.1.7 It is important to recognize that analysis by somespectrochemical methods may be influenced by the metallur-gical structure of the sample, particularly in the case of irons
35、with white and grey iron structures, and steels in the as-castand wrought conditions.6.2.2 Size:6.2.2.1 Ensure that the dimensions of a laboratory sample inthe form of a solid mass are sufficient to permit additionalsamples for analysis to be taken for reanalysis when necessaryusing an alternative m
36、ethod of analysis.6.2.2.2 A sample shall be prepared consisting of a sufficientmass to provide for any reanalysis necessary. Generally, a massof 100 g will be sufficient for a sample in the form of chips orpowder.6.2.2.3 The dimensional requirements for a sample in theform of a solid mass will depen
37、d upon the method selected foranalysis. In the case of optical emission and X-ray fluorescencespectrometric methods, the shape and size of the sample will bedetermined by the dimensions of the sample chamber. Thedimensions for samples given in this practice are for guidanceonly. Refer to Test Method
38、 E 415 for sample size requirementsfor optical emission spectrometry.6.2.3 Identification:6.2.3.1 Assign the sample a unique identification to deter-mine the melt or sample product from which it was taken, andif necessary, the process conditions of the melt or the locationof the laboratory sample in
39、 the sample product. For pig iron,FIG. 1 Sequence of Sampling and Sample Preparation of (a) Liquid Iron and Steel and (b) Cast Iron and Steel ProductsE 1806 96 (2006)3this shall identify the consignment or part of a consignment andthe increment from which it was taken.6.2.3.2 Use labeling or some eq
40、uivalent method of markingto ensure that the assigned identification remains associatedwith the sample for analysis.6.2.3.3 Record the identification, status, and condition of thesample to ensure that confusion cannot arise as to the identityof the item to which the analysis and records refer.6.2.4
41、Conservation:6.2.4.1 Provide adequate storage facilities to segregate andprotect the sample. During and after preparation, store thesample in a manner which prevents contamination or chemicalchange.6.2.4.2 Keep the sample, or the laboratory sample in theform of a solid mass, for a sufficient period
42、of time to permitretesting if necessary.6.2.5 Arbitration:6.2.5.1 Samples intended for arbitration shall be preparedjointly by the supplier and purchaser or by their representa-tives. Keep a record of the methods used for preparing samples.6.2.5.2 Both parties or their representatives seal container
43、swith the samples intended for arbitration. Unless agreed to thecontrary, the representatives of each party responsible for thepreparation of samples will keep these containers.6.3 Selection of a Sample:6.3.1 Sample from a Melt:6.3.1.1 Melts are sampled at various stages in the manufac-turing proces
44、s for the purposes of monitoring and controllingthe process. Samples can be taken during the casting of themelt to verify chemical composition in accordance with thespecification of the cast product. In the case of liquid metalintended for the production of a casting, the analytical samplemay be sel
45、ected from test bars or blocks specially cast from thesame metal as that of the casting for purposes of mechanicaltesting in accordance with the product standard.6.3.1.2 Sampling practices shall be designed for melts toprovide samples during a particular manufacturing process inaccordance with requi
46、rements for sample quality (see 6.2.1).The sample obtained from a melt usually is in the form of asmall ingot, a cylindrical or rectangular block, or a chill-castdisk or a combination of a disk with one or more attached pins,in some cases small lugs are attached to a disk sample.NOTE 1Sampling probe
47、s for use with liquid iron and steel may beobtained from a number of suppliers. The main features of the differenttypes of probe are distinguished in Annex A1 and Annex A2, whichinclude dimensions for information only.6.3.2 Sample from a Product:6.3.2.1 The laboratory sample can be selected from the
48、sample product at the location indicated in the product speci-fication for the selection of material for mechanical testingwhen available.6.3.2.2 In the case of an iron casting, the sample can beselected from a bar or block cast-on to the casting.6.3.2.3 In the case of a forging, the sample can be s
49、electedfrom the initial starting material from which the forging hasbeen made or from prolongations of the forging or fromadditional forgings.6.3.2.4 In the absence of requirements given in the productstandard or of a specification when ordering the product, thesample may, following agreement between the supplier and thepurchaser, be selected from the sample for mechanical testingor from the test piece, or directly from the sample product.6.3.2.5 The laboratory sample can be obtained from thesample product by machining or by using a cutting torch.Special consi
