What is BS 6200-3.1.6 – Ferrous metals about?
BS 6200-3.1.6 standard is a part of the BS 6200 series that discusses the permanent magnet alloys using the volumetric method for the sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals. Ferrous metals such as cast and wrought iron or carbon steel are known for their tensile strength and durability.
BS 6200-3.1.6 describes a volumetric method for the determination of acid-soluble aluminum in permanent magnet alloys. The method applies to alloys containing 5 % to 15 % aluminum, 7 % to 35 % nickel, 10 % to 30 % cobalt, 0.5 % to 8 % copper, up to 3 % titanium, up to 6 % niobium, all percentage by mass, and the remainder iron.
Who is BS 6200-3.1.6 – Ferrous metals for?
BS 6200-3.1.6 on permanent magnet alloys using volumetric method applies to:
- Manufacturer of magnet alloys
- Quality testing personnel
- Chemical laboratory testing
- Engineers
Why should you use BS 6200-3.1.6 – Ferrous metals?
Ferrous metals such as cast and wrought iron or carbon steel are known for their tensile strength and durability. The volumetric method is commonly used to determine the unknown concentration of a known reactant.
BS 6200-3.1.6 provides you with the principle in which major amounts of interfering elements are removed by mercury cathode electrolytes followed by precipitation with cup Ferron. The determination is completed by titration of the quinoline-8-ol with potassium bromate and sodium thiosulfate.
BS 6200-3.1.6 provides the determination of aluminum for permanent magnet alloys which provides: preparation of the test solution, mercury cathode electrolytes, removal of interfering elements, separation of aluminum, titration of quinoline-8-ol, standardization of the sodium thiosulfate solution. This helps you in manufacturing permanent magnet alloys using the volumetric method.
With obedience and compliance to BS 6200-3.1.6, you can efficiently provide the volumetric methods for the sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals.
