Determination of carbon in aluminum-titanium-carbon master alloy by high frequency combustion infrared absorption method
0.2 g of pure iron fluxing agent was put into the treated crucible.Then, 0.2 g of sample was added and covered by 1.3 g of tungsten particles and 0.2 g of tin particles.The combustion time was set at 35 s.Thus,a determination method of carbon in aluminum-titanium-carbon master alloy was established by high frequency combustion infrared absorption method after fusion with ternary flux.The results showed that the average blank value of the proposed method was w(C)=0.000 8% (n=5), which could be ignored compared with the mass fraction of carbon ranged from 0.10% to 0.30% in aluminum-titaniumcarbon master alloy.The proposed method was applied to determination of carbon in actual sample of aluminum-titanium-carbon master alloy.The results were consistent with those obtained by tube furnace combustion-alkali asbestos absorption gravimetric method.The relative standard deviations (RSD, n=10)were between 0.54% and 0.71%.The recoveries of standard addition were between 98% and 101%.This method was applicable for determination of the carbon mass fraction in range of 0.10%-0.30%.
