Description / Abstract:
This International Standard gives guidance on a method for the
determination of the carbon content in steels containing other
alloying elements (less than 1 % to 2 % by mass) using the
calibration curve method. It specifies the sample preparation,
X-ray detection, establishment of the calibration curve and the
procedure for the determination of the uncertainty of the measured
carbon content. It is applicable to steels containing a mass
fraction of carbon of less than 1,0 %. The method is not applicable
to steels with higher carbon contents, which could significantly
affect the accuracy of the analysis results.
This International Standard applies to analyses performed using
normal beam incidence and wavelengthdispersive X-ray spectrometry;
it is not designed to be used for energy-dispersive X-ray
spectrometry.
