BS 6200-3.17.1:1992

This standard BS 6200-3.17.1:1992 Sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals. Methods of analysis. Determination of magnesium is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.080.10 Irons

This Subsection of BS 6200 describes a volumetric method for the determination of magnesium in cast iron.

The method is applicable to the range of magnesium contents normally found in nodular graphite cast iron containing up to 2 % (m/m) nickel.

A very small number of nodular irons may also contain calcium, e.g. those treated with ferrosilicon magnesium containing calcium fluoride. In such cases the magnesium result will be inclusive of any residual calcium in the iron.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this Subsection of BS 6200 are listed on the inside back cover.
