Significance and Use4.1 This practice covers all aspects of sampling and prepar-ing steel and iron for chemical analysis as
24、defined in TestMethods, Practices, and Definitions A751 and SpecificationA48/A48M. Such subjects as sampling location and the sam-pling 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 refer
25、ence this practice need containonly special modifications 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 Sa
26、fety Precautions5.1 Provide personal protective equipment to minimize therisk of injury during sampling and sample preparation meth-ods. Provisions shall include protective clothing, handprotection, and face visors resistant to splashes of liquid metalfor use during the sampling of liquid metal; pro
27、tective clothingand hand, eye, and hearing protection for use during thesampling and sample preparation of solid metal; and respira-tory protection 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. Grind
28、ing operations used for surface preparation may 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 Gener
29、al:6.1.1 This section describes the general requirements 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 sa
30、mple preparation ofliquid iron and steel and cast iron and steel products is shownin Fig. 1. Special considerations apply to pig irons (see Section10).6.2 Sample:6.2.1 Quality:3Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd St.,4th Floor, New York, NY 10036, http:/www.ansi.o
31、rg.E1806 09 (2016)26.2.1.1 Sampling practices shall be designed to provide ananalytical sample that is representative of the mean chemicalcomposition of the melt or of the sample product.6.2.1.2 Ensure that the sample is sufficiently homogeneouswith respect to chemical composition so that inhomogene
32、itydoes 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 betweensamples for analysis, may be unavoidable. This variability willform an inherent part of the repeatability and
33、reproducibility ofthe analysis.6.2.1.3 Ensure that the sample is free from surface coatingsand from moisture, dirt, or other forms of contamination.6.2.1.4 The sample should be free from voids, cracks, andporosity and from fins, laps, or other surface defects.6.2.1.5 Take particular care when select
34、ing 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 sucha manner that the chemical composition and metallurgicalstructure of the sample is consistent from sample to sample.6.2.1.7
35、 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 ironswith white and grey iron structures, and steels in the as-castand wrought conditions.FIG. 1 Sequence of Sampling and Sample Pre
36、paration of (a) Liquid Iron and Steel and (b) Cast Iron and Steel ProductsE1806 09 (2016)36.2.2 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 alternat
37、ive method 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
38、depend upon the method selected foranalysis. In the case of atomic 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 Me
39、thod E415 for sample size requirementsfor atomic 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
40、in the sample product. For pig iron,this shall identify the consignment or part of a consignment andthe increment from which it was taken.6.2.3.2 Use labeling or some equivalent method of markingto ensure that the assigned identification remains associatedwith the sample for analysis.6.2.3.3 Record
41、the identification of the sample to ensure thatconfusion cannot arise as to the identity of the item to whichthe analysis and records refer.6.2.4 Conservation:6.2.4.1 Provide adequate storage facilities to segregate andprotect the sample. During and after preparation, store thesample in a manner whi
42、ch 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 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
43、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 containerswith the samples intended for arbitration. Unless agreed to thecontrary, the representatives of each party responsible for thepreparation of samples will
44、 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 process for the purposes of monitoring and controllingthe process. Samples can be taken during the casting of themelt to verify chemical composition in accordan
45、ce with thespecification of the cast product. In the case of liquid metalintended for the production of a casting, the analytical samplemay be selected from test bars or blocks specially cast from thesame metal as that of the casting for purposes of mechanicaltesting in accordance with the product s
46、tandard.6.3.1.2 Sampling practices shall be designed for melts toprovide samples during a particular manufacturing process inaccordance with requirements 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 ch
47、ill-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 probes 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 Anne
48、x 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 thesample 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 c
49、ase 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 selectedfrom 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 directl
