4.1 These test methods for the chemical analysis of metals and alloys are primarily intended as referee methods to test such materials for compliance with compositional specifications, particularly those under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A04 on Iron Castings. It is assumed that all who use these test methods will be trained analysts capable of performing common laboratory procedures skillfully and safely. It is expected that work will be performed in a properly equipped laboratory under appropriate quality control practices such as those described in Guide E882.
1.1 These test methods cover the chemical analysis of pig iron, gray cast iron (including alloy and austenitic), white cast iron, malleable cast iron, and ductile (nodular) iron having chemical compositions within the following limits:
Element | Composition Range,8201;% |
| |
Aluminum | 0.003 to 0.50 |
Antimony | 0.005 to 0.03 |
Arsenic | 0.02 to 0.10 |
Bismuth | 0.001 to 0.03 |
Boron | 0.001 to 0.10 |
Cadmium | 0.001 to 0.005 |
Carbon | 1.25 to 4.50 |
Cerium | 0.005 to 0.05 |
Chromium | 0.01 to 30.00 |
Cobalt | 0.01 to 4.50 |
Copper | 0.03 to 7.50 |
