21、ration of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the tight to be represented on that commi
22、ttee. Intemational organizations, governmental and non- governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Drai Intemational Standards adopted by the tech
23、nical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Intemational Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Intemational Standard IS0 4491 -2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 1 19, Powder mtallugy, Subcommittee SC 2, Samp

27、od for the datemiination of the relative loss of mass which a metallic powder undergoes when heated in a stream of pure dry hydrogen under specified conditions. The purpose of this test is to evaluate a chemical powder characteristic which is of importance to the powder metallurgical industry. The t
28、est is not intended as a means for the determination of the content of specific elements. (See annex A and IC0 4491 -1 .) The test method is applicable to unalloyed, partially alloyed and completely alloyed powders of the metals listed in table 1 (see 6.1). It is not applicable to lubricated powders
29、 or to mixtures of metal powders. The results can be influenced by the presence of reducible, oxidizable or volatile metals, metalloids or compounds (see annex A). The results obtained on such powders shall be used with caution and their interpretation shall be subject to agreement between supplier
30、and user. This part of IS0 4491 shall be read in conjunction with IS0 4491 -1. 2 Normative reference The following standard contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of IS0 4491. At the time of publication, the edition indicated was valid. All stan
31、dards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of IS0 4491 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the standard indicated below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. IS0 4491-1:
32、1989, Metallic powders - Determination of oxygen content by reduction methods - Part 1: General guidelines. 3 Reagents and materials 3.1 Hydrogen, with a maximum oxygen content of 0,005 % (m/m) and a dew point not higher than - 45 OC. 3.2 Nitrogen orargon, with a maximum oxygen content of 0,005 YO (
33、mim) and a dew point not higher than - 45 “C. (See also 6.3, third paragraph.) 1 4 Apparatus An example of suitable test arrangement is shown schematically in figure 1. 4.1 Laboratory balance, of sufficient capacity, and capable of weighing to an accuracy of 0,l mg. 4.2 Eli9ctricaliy heated tubular
34、furnace, that can be continuously operated at the appropriate temperatures given in table 1 and that has a control system capable of maintaining the temperature in that part of the tube containing the boat (4.5) to within the temperature tolerance stated in table i. NOTE - When testing magnetic powd
35、ers, i is recommended that wire-wound furnaces shall be wound non-inductively. 4.3 Gas-tight tube, of quartz or refractory material (for example dense alumina). The inside diameter of the tube shall be between 25 mm and 40 mm and its length such that it extends about 200 mm beyond each end of the fu
36、rnace. When a large number of hydrogen loss determinations is to be carried out, a larger furnace than that described in this part of IS0 4491, and one which permits several test portions to be tested simultaneously, may be used, provided that the temperature and time conditions shown in table 1 are
37、 fulfilled and the results obtained are in agreement with those obtained when the test is carried out with the preferred apparatus. 4.4 Totally enclosed thermocouple, for example platinum/platinum-rhodium, and an indicating or recording instrument, permitting the measurement of temperature with an a
38、ccuracy of 5 OC. If for some reason it is desirable to place the thermocouple outside the reduction tube, this is acceptable. But in this case, a preliminary calibration shall be made with a second thermocouple placed inside the tube in order to ascertain that the temperature of the test sample is i
39、n accordance with the values and tolerances specified in table i. 4.5 Boat, preferably of high-alumina ceramic with a polished surface. Other materials, for example quartz and nickel, may be used when test conditions allow. The boat shall be of such dimensions, for example 75 mm long and 12 mm wide,
40、 that the thickness of the powder, when uniformly distributed, does not exceed 3 mm. New boats shall be pretreated in a stream of hydrogen at the test temperature and stored in a desiccator. A boat may be used more than once, provided that it is always used for testing the same metal powder or type
41、thereof and provided that it is carefully cleaned by mechanical means between determinations and stored in a desiccator. 4.6 Supply unit for hydrogen and either nitrogen or argon, with pressure gauges and flow meters to control the flow of gas. 5 Sampling 5.1 The powder shall be tested in the as-rec
42、eived condition. 5.2 The loss in mass shall be determined on two test portions. 5.3 The mass of the test portion shall be approximately 5 g, except that for powders of low apparent density it may be reduced to comply with the requirements of 4.5 and 6.2. 2 Dimensions in millimetres Figure 1 - Diagra
43、m of suitable test arrangement 3 6 Procedure Carry out two determinations on each test sample. 6.1 Heat the furnace (4.2), with the tube (4.3) inserted, to the temperature indicated in table 1 for the metal powder being tested.

Shorter times may be applied provided that for each apparatus and for each type of powder experience has shown them to be sufficient to guarantee the completion of the hydrogen loss reactions. 2) Results should be interpreted with care. See annex A, cl
46、ause A.6. 6.2 Weigh the boat (4.5) to the nearest Oll mg. Distribute the test portion throughout the boat to a uniform depth not exceeding 3 mm. Weigh the boat with the test portion to the nearest Oll mg. 6.3 Pass nitrogen (3.2) through the tube at a flow rate corresponding to a gas speed of at leas
47、t 25 mds, as measured in the cooling zone of the tube, for a period of at least 1 min. Insert the boat containing the test portion in the tube and move it until it is at the centre of the uniformtemperature zone of the furnace. The boat shall be moved sufficiently slowiy to prevent ejection of powde
48、r as a result of a high rate of gas evolution. Continue the flow of nitrogen for 1 min. If difficulties are experienced in preventing ejection of powder from the boat, the powder may be pressed (without addition of lubricant) to form a low density compact, or, if such a compact has a very low green
49、strength, it may be wrapped in oxide-free cooper foil. The copper foil may be used only when the test temperature exceeds the melting temperature of copper. When testing powders that are susceptible to combination with nitrogen (for example chromium-containing alloy steel powder), the purging operations shall be carried out with argon instead of nitrogen. (See 6.5 and 6.6.) 6.4 Start up the flow of hydrogen (3.1) and discontinue the flow of nitrogen. Establish an even flow of hydrogen through the tube, corresponding to a gas speed of at least 25 mm/s in
