INTRODUCTION This review continues the biennial series written by William Straub, both alone and with his colleague, J. K.Hurwitz, over the past decade and a half, under the title, "Ferrous Metallurgy". Steel chemists everywhere are indebted for their yeoman service. The material covered in this current review was extracted from Chemical Abstracts beginning with Vol. 109, No. 23, and endin with Vol. 113, No. 8. Supplemental coverage was extractef from Metals Abstracts between Jan 1989 and July 1990. Most of the review is organized by elemental analyte; papers that treat multiple analytes or that emphasize instrumental parameters are organized by technique. In addition there are several miscellaneous categories to cover thoae areas that require separate treatment. The last 2 years have shown a continued acceleration of the trend away from classical "wet chemical" techni ues in favor of high-s eed, low overhead instrumentation. %ith the exception ora few techniques based on fundamental approaches, t h e high-speed instrumentsare dependent upon comparative methodology that requires calibration and validation with traceable standard reference materials. The loas of experience and knowledge in the area of classical analytical chemistry upon which so many of the extant reference materials are based remains a crisii of o proportions. Nowhere is thii trend greater than in the%.S?%ere the classical wet chemical laboratory is vanishing from the steel industry. In developing countries, such as China, classical wet chemical techniques are still widely employed and certain European countries apparently remain cognizant of the importance of maintaining capability in this area. In the instrumental area, the cutting edge of --speed service to the needs of production is molten metal analysis, in which the product is analyzed while it is being produced. In this review a separate section is devoted to this rapidly growing technolop The review in this journal remtuns the most comprehensive source of information related to the analysis of steel (l), but several important reference compilations have a peared in Japan (21, Germany (31, and the USSR (4). fieviews of s v o g r a p h c techniques in Poland (5)and Germany (6) and e &on optical techniques in the U.K.(7)and Japan (8)have appeared. A review of trace methods (9) and a metals analysis handbook (10) were published. A comparison of spectroa hic techniques for the analysis of austenitic stainless steels 11 and a review of laboratory organization in a steelworks (12) have also been issued. The automation of steel analysis laboratories is a general topic widely discussed in the literature. Hardware and software advances have led to systems for rapid spectrographic control of steel and iron-making processes in Ja an (13,14), Germany (15-18), Czechoslovakia (191, Sweden 501, and the U.K.(21). Systems for rapidly sorting mixed steel are important tools, especially in a production environment where numerous grade compositions are routinely handled. Today this problem is largely handled by using spectrometers designed for use in the mill environment, although spark testing (where the color and pattern of sparks produced by grinding the steel are used), chemical spot testing, and sim le magnet and hardness tests are still employed in some pLces. One paper on spectrographic sorting (22) and one general review of the subject (23)have appeared. One general review that covers the a plication of atomic spectroscopy to minerals, refractories, clemicals, and metals has appeared (24). Another paper describes spectrometers (optical emission and X-ray fluorescence; simultaneous and

sequential) suited for use in foundry control (25). Numerous papers describe specific control laboratory installations (26-28).

ALUMINUM Aluminum is present in many steels both as an all0 ed metallic constituent and as a precipitated compound, o&n the oxide or nitride. The importance of distinguishin these separate forms is emerging from the specialized f i e d of inclusion analysis (see Inclusions and Second Phases) and is becoming a concern for the rapid control of steel-makin processes. Work in this area is progressing rapidly, althoug much remains to be done. By using an optical emission approach with both a 20-9 prespark and no pres ark, one investigator has determined total aluminum antfnonmetallic aluminum, res ectively. Metallic aluminum is calculated by difference (Alf X-ray fluorescence has been applied to the problem by using a mathematical eak unfolding procedure to separate a series of overlapping% #I bands. By using this approach, metallic aluminum, aluminum oxide, and aluminum nitride can be determined but only to a detection limit of O M % , which is insufficient for practical metallurgical control (A2). A review of the roblem as it relates the continuous casting of aluminum-kiid steels, covering classical methods and electron probe microanalysis, as well as X-ray fluorescence and optical emission, has been written (A3). A eneral review of the analytical behavior of aluminum oxide incf&ions in steel has also appeared (A4). Certain sulfo com ounds have been used to enhance the optical absorption o!aluminum in the flameless atomic absorption determination of aluminum in steels (A5). Japanese investigators have employed a flameless AA approach using magnesium sulfate as a matrix modifier to determine trace amounts of aluminum in iron and steel (A6). Fluorometric techni ues are sometimes used for aluminum determination has been in stee(ts. 2-Hydroxy-5-sulfoaniline-N-salicylidene used as the fluorometric reagent to determine aluminum down to 2.5 ppm (A7). Spectrophotometricmethods for the determination of low levels of aluminum have been common in the industry for decades. A new reagent, m-bromocarboxyazo m, which forms a colored complex which is stable for 24 h, has been ap lied to steel, iron, and iron alloys (A8). As in most such metRods, aluminum must first be isolated from the iron matrix. Chrome Azurol S has been a lied to steels containing vanadium. In this approach, in a f fition to the removal of iron, the effect of vanadium is eliminated by stabilizing its +V oxidation state with excess hydrogen peroxide (A9). Chloro hosphonazo reacts with aluminum to form a complex that agsorbs at 600 nm. Biscyclohexanoneoxalyldihydrazonewas used to remove some interferences by precipitation and lycol bis(#I-aminoethyl ether)-N,"-tetraacetic acid was atded to the isolated aluminum to mask rare earths (AlO). Dibromonitrochlorophosphonazo has also been used to form a complex with aluminum in a solution buffered at pH 4.4-6.4 with hexamethylenetetramine buffer (All). A new reagent, Chromazo-BRZ-4-(N,N-dicarboxymethyl)aminobenzyl-( l-azo-2')1',8'-dioxynaphthalene-3,6'-disulfo acid is less affected by interferences than many other aluminum complex formers, and it has been applied to a spectrophotometric method for steel (A12).

ANTIMONY Antimony has been determined by an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence ap roach usin both the Ka and La lines. Results were verifiea by optic3 emission using both the 206.838- and 259.806-nm lines. Both methods were found suitable up to a concentration of 0.5% (A13). Anodic stripping voltammetry was applied to the determination of antimony

(simultaneously with tin) after solvent extraction separation and then reextraction into the aqueous phase. The results obtained agreed with those obtained by atomic absorption (A14). Two associated dyes, crystal violet and rhodamine 6G, were used in the solvent extraction/fluorometric determination of antimony. The method is free of common interferences, except titanium (A15). The colored complex formed by antimon with dibromophenylfluorone in the presence of the emuls$er OP was used as the basis of a new spectrophotometric method. Interferences were eliminated by evolution and collection of SbH, (A16). The red association complex of phenosafranine cation and chloroantimonate anion was exploited in a spectrophotometric method. The colored species were extracted with a mixture of cyclohexane and butanone, and the absorbance was measured at 532 nm (A17, A18). In another approach, antimony was separated as the iodide by extraction with toluene. A portion of the extract was reacted with 2-(5bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5diethylaminophenol in ethanol, diluted with ethanol, and measured at 610 nm (A19).

ARSENIC For many years various techniques for arsenic determination have exploited the evolution of arsine gas from an acid solution of the sample matrix to isolate this important tramp contaminant of steel. More recently the evolution of ASH, has been adapted for direct introduction of the analyte into an atomic absorption or inductively coupled plasma optical emission instrument. One recent pa er utilizes the atomic absorption a proach with a micro hygide generation system into which tEe sample and KBH4 reagent system are introduced with micropi ts ( B O ) . Another paper utilizes the ICP approach combin&th a prelim' isolation of the arsenic by means of solvent extraction o f t e iodide com lex into x lene. The extracted arsenic is then mixed on-Ine with d&H4 in DMF solution and acetic acid and injected into the plasma by means of a gas-liquid continuous separation device that removes most of the organic phase vapor. Cast iron was successfully analyzed for arsenic by using this technique (A21). In a hydride method for nickel-based alloys, a microcolumn of strong cation-exchange resin was placed in-line before a flame-heated quartz tube atomic absorption spectrophotometer to remove the matrix before it could suppress the arsenic signal (A21a). A polarographic method for trace arsenic in steels and irons has been published (A22). There has also appeared a method based on coulometric titration following a solvent extraction of the arsenic-bromide complex (A23). Finally, a spectrophotometric method has appeared based on the arsenieantimony-molybdate which absorbs at 690 nm. The

BISMUTH The determination of trace and ultratrace levels of bismuth is a critical concern in many sectors of the steel industry because of the element's deleterious effects on certain alloys. While instrumental approaches are now commonly employed, work still continues in spectrophotometric and polarographic techniques. The diethyldithiocarbamate complex was extracted into petroleum ether by one investigator to isolate it from the iron matrix, and then bismuth was determined by s ctrophotometric measurement of the ion association comp r x with iodide and rhodamine B in 0.016 M HNO,. The method has shown a detection limit of 0.00005% and is also applicable to nickel-base alloys (A25). The violet complex that bismuth forms with chlorophosphonazo I11 was applied to a s ctrophotometric procedure for cast irons. Rare earths are te only important interference (A26). A very sensitive method for steel was developed based on s ectro hotometric measurement of the ion association comptx wit! iodide and butylrhodamine B (A27). After removal of heavy metals from the matrix, bismuth was determined in a series of cast irons by square wave polarogra hy. Over the concentration range 0.0114~).00063%, a stanfard deviation of 0.00004-0.0006% was obtained ( A B ) . Bismuth has been determined in nickel, cobalt, and chromium alloys by means of solvent extraction 66R

of the complex with 2-mercaptobenz.oimidazole in the presence of trichloroacetate anion and photometric measurement. Bismuth was determined over the range 0.0014-0.005% (A29). Bismuth was determined in low alloy steels over the range 0.0002-0.0050% by means of a continuous hydride generation-ICP optical emission system (A30). A microhydride generation system coupled to a microquartz cell for atomic absorption atomization has been used to determine bismuth in steels and nickel-base alloys. The effect of nickel and cobalt is removed by the addition of 8-hydroxyquinoline (A31).

BORON If an elemental component of modern steels were to be selected that presents the reatest overall challenge to the analytical chemist, it wouh probably be boron. It has a profound effect, even in trace quantities, upon the properties of most steels, and it can be present in a vanety of forms, some of them resistant to common acid dissolution procedures. The need for hi hly accurate boron determinations continues to generate a ost of new approaches in the literature. One review that com ares results from different procedures on the same standarzreference materials emphasizes the importance of classical wet chemical approaches in establishing accurate baseline data for national standards. Results from the curcumin spectrophotometric method, both direct and after solvent extraction, and from the 1,l'-dianthrimide spectrophotometric procedure after distillation of the methyl borate ester are compared (A32). Recent work in the determination of boron has been reviewed in another paper, covering photometric and instrumental techniques, as well as separation schemes and masking agents (A33). Methods for the spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of boron in steel abound. One approach involves the formation of the ternary association complex with phenylhydroxyacetic acid and malachite green, which is extracted into benzene and measured (A34). Another involves distillation of the methyl borate ester into dilute caustic solution, which is evaporated to dryness. Curcumin is added to the dried salt, and the resultant complex is extracted into MIBK and measured ( A S ) . The curcumin method was also applied in a rapid approach in which the meth 1borate distillate was evaporated as it was collected ( A X ) . imethod based on the color reaction with 4,4'-disubstituted (R = OH or OCH,) dibenzoylmethane has been reported (A37). A study from the U.K. demonstrates some of the shortcomings of an established spectrophotometric method and makes a case for a new method based on dissolution of the sample in HC1 + HNOB, decomposition of boron compounds with H3P04 + H,S04 at 250 "C, reaction with coumarin, and measurement of the boron complex at 543 nm. Im roved linearity when these wet chemical results are plottea in spectrographic curves suggests that a number of reference materials may have been assigned erroneous values (A%). A spectrophotometric method based on the formation of the complex between boron and methylimino-H acid, after separation of interfering elements by precipitation with barium carbonate, has been published (A39). Acid-soluble boron in steels has been determined by extraction of the mandelic acid and malachite green complex with benzene and spectrophotometric measurement at 630 nm (A40). Novel approaches to boron determination in steel reflect the perceived importance of this field of study. In one paper the investigator used a fluoroborate ion selective electrode to measure the boron content of steel Sam les dissolved in a mixture of H,SO, and HBPO with the adxition of HF (A41). Two methods that utilize mofecular emission techniques have been published. In one, boron was determined in low alloy steel and nickel-base alloys by extraction from HCl into 2,4dimethyl-4,6-octanediol in toluene, followed by molecular emission determination at 546 nm with a H -NzO flame (A42). In the second, pulsed nebulization of small sample solution volumes into an air-H, flame are studied (A43). Boron was determined by dissolution of the steel sample in HzSOl and H 2 0 addition of EDTA, pH adjustment to 4, addition of disoaium chromotro ate and octyltrimethylammonium chloride and acetate guffer, and injection into an HPLC. Boron absorbance was measured at 350 nm (A44). A highperformance liquid chromatography method based on the anionic boron complex with H-resorcinol has been described (A45). Trace boron in nickel steels has been determined by

graphite furnance atomic absorption, using a strontiummagnesium mixed matrix modifier (A46). In certain special alloys, boron is added at high levels to achieve unique properties. This is a discrete area of concern for the analytical chemist. Several papers in this area have been published. The standard wet chemical approach involves formation of the boron-mannitol complex, which releases hydro en ions in direct proportion to the boron concentration, but a tigh phosphorus level in the alloy interferes seriously with this standard scheme. In one paper, a method is described in which boron is extracted with 2,2,4-trimethyl-2,4pentadiol and then back-extracted into dilute standard NaOH solution. Mannitol is added, and the released hydrogen ions consume a stoichiometric amount of NaOH. The excess NaOH is titrated with standard HC1 (A47). Boron was determined in neodymium-iron-boron magnet alloys by, first, removal of the iron and neodymium by precipitation with NaOH, expellin C02by boiling, neutralization, complexation of the boron wit! lycerol, and titration with standard NaOH to a phenolphthafein end point (A48). Boron in ferroboron was determined b fusing the sample with sodium peroxide ium carbonate. The iron precipitate from and potassium the leached fusion is filtered off, and the filtrate is directly measured by ICP optical emission (A49).

CALCIUM Calcium is frequent1 determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. &e paper investigated the range 0.001-0.1% using a lanthanum solution to eliminate some interferences (BI). In another paper the surfactant, Triton X-100, was found to increase the atomic absorption signal of calcium by approximately 50%. The linear range of the calibration was also extended, and several interferences were suppressed (B2). In a third paper, the calcium atomic absorption si a1 was enhanced by 40% by the addition of potassium chgride solution. A detection limit of O.OOOl% was obtained. In addition it was discovered that the inclusion compound, Ca0*6A1203,which is insoluble in aqua regia, can be dissolved completely by the treatment with hydrofluoric acid followed by evaporation to fumes of perchloric acid (B3). Calcium was determined in iron ores by means of the color reactions with two reagents-chlorophosphonazo I11 and arsenazo 111. Both reactions occur in a slightly acidic 40% alcohol solution, and both calcium complexes have their maximum spectrophotometric absorbance at 650 nm (B4).

CARBON An interesting optical emission approach to the determination of carbon in steel involves measurement of the carbon spectral intensity at two different electrical discharge time bands in a spark made. An algorithm relates carbon content to the measured intensities (E). X-ray fluorescence has been used to determine the carbon content in pig iron. Reproducibility was better for white pig iron than for gray pig iron because of sample morphology. Identified sources of error include contamination of the vacuum chamber by vacuum pump oil and sample preparation technique. The method showed a precision (bM) of 0.050% over the concentration range 3.!5-4.7% (B6). The modem workhorse for carbon determination remains the technique based on inductive heating and combustion of

the sample in a stream of oxygen. The C02 roduced is measured in various ways but typically with a tRermal conductivity or an infrared absorption detector. Today, there is growing interest in carbon levels below 10 ppm, and one paper addresses the problems associated with determining carbon (and sulfur) in standard reference materials at these low levels (B7).Combustion techniques for carbon usually require the addition of a flux as an aid in coupling with the radiofrequency field and in releasing carbon from the sample. Several studies of fluxes have been published (B8-BIO). A new approach to combustion of the sample involved the construction of a continuous arc furnace for carbon (and sulfur) determination. The instrument automatically maintains a fixed arc length, and high temperature is achieved without the use of fluxes (BII). Carbon can be determined by wet chemical dissolution of the steel, evolution of carbon dioxide and its absorption in nonaqueous solvents, and subsequent titration. One paper described the use of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide to dissolve the sample and evolve the CO ,which was absorbed in DMF containing 2-aminoethanol. %he COPwas titrated with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. Activated Mn02was required to remove interference from SO2 (B12). Another team of investigators used sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate to dissolve the sample and employed a nonaqueous coulometric titration to measure the evolved C02 (B13). In the combustion/IR detection approach, temperature ramping can be used to distinguish between surface carbon and carbon in the metal substrate. One such study, which dealt with high-purity iron samples, revealed that some low carbon standard reference materials are certified at levels that appear to be too high (BI4). High carbon and low sulfur could be determined simultaneously in ferromanganese and ferrochromium using a combustion approach with a tungsten-tin accelerator (BI5).

CHROMIUM In the People’s Republic of China, there appears to be an interest in developing variations on the classical titration of chromium with ferrous ammonium sulfate. In particular, alternatives to the use of silver nitrate as catalyst in the oxidation of chromium with ammonium ersulfate are being sought (B16,B17). While chromium can [e less of a problem in flame atomic absorption analysis when a N 0-C2H2flame is used, many analysts wish to use an air-C2 flame. Hexamethylenetetramine has been shown to inhi it the interference of iron under these conditions (B18),and the addition of dimethyl ketone has been shown to enhance the sensitivity for chromium (BI9). Formation of chromium acetylacetonate and its atomization in an air-C2H2heated silica tube has allowed the detection of 0.2 ng of chromium in a steel matrix by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (B20). UV-visible molecular absorption spectrophotometry has always been a popular approach for low levels of chromium in steel. 2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol forms a purple complex with chromium in sulfuric acid solution (B21). Diantipyrylstyrylmethane forms a violet-red complex with chromium in phosphoric acid solution (B22). Similarly, acid chrome blue K forms a chromium complex with maximum absorbance at 597 nm (B23). The bromides of cetyldimethylaminoacetic acid and tetradecyldimethylaminoacetic acid were shown to sensitize the color reaction between chromium and chrome azurol S (B24). A flow injection system based on the color reaction with tetramethylenebis(tripheny1phosphonium) bromide was applied to the determination of chromium in a ran e of steels (B25). A kinetic spectrophotometric method based on the oxidation of o-tolidine by Cr(V1) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide was applied to steel after an ion exchange separation (B26). A fluorometric method based on the reaction of chromium with 2-(a-pyridyl)thioquinaldinamidewas described (B27). Another fluorometric method that is based on the reaction between chromium(V1) and thiamine hydrochloride has been applied to the determination of chromium in cast iron (B28). A spectrophotometric method that exploits the blue-purple complex which forms between chromium(II1) and p-sulfophenylazochromotropic acid has been used for steel (B29). Alkyldimethylaminoaceticacid was studied as a sensitizer for the color reaction between chromium(II1) and eriochrome cyanine R, and the reaction was shown to be applicable to the

COBALT Cobalt can often be convenientl determined by molecular absorption spectrophotometry. $his is reflected in the literature with numerous papers describing colored complexes of cobalt that have been studied for application to steel analysis.

The procedure has been used for high-s ed steels and cast iron ( C l ) . 2Hydroxy-1-naphthalderyde guanylhydrazone forms a yellow complex in acid solution that absorbs at 416 nm (C2). 242Thiazolylazo)-5-diethylaminobenzoicacid reacts with cobalt

A sensitive test for the presence of co per in an aluminum-bearing ferrotitanium alloy was baselon dissolution in dilute sulfuric acid, addition of ammonium fluoride (to mask the matrix elements), and development of a thin-layer chromatagram with 2-propanoktetrah drofuran:50% (v/v) HNOB(3OA01.5). The TLC plate was praced in contact with NH vapor and then sprayed with ammonium sulfide solution. h e presence of 0.3ng of copper could be detected (C22).

Refer to Molten Metal pis,below, for a review of the extensive literature on the determination of gaseous elements in liquid metal baths. Argon. A commercial oxygenfnitrogendeterminator was modified for the determination of ar onfoxyqenfnitrogen in powder metallurgical materials.

IRON In the steel industry, iron is commonly determined in a diverse ran e of materials-iron ore, slag,furnace dusts, acid pickling ba&, and many more-but only rarely in alloys. An important exce tion is in the specialty alloy industry, where iron is frequentfy determined as a major to minor component (and even as a trace contaminant) in complex high-temperature service superalloys. The best methods for major amounts of iron are volumetric, t ically redox titrations. A new volumetric ap roach for the ztermination of iron in iron ores is based on &ssolution of the sample in a mixture of sulfuric, hydrochloric, and hydrofluoric acids, followed by titration wth a stannous chloride solution (0.05 M) prepared in glycerol-ethanol (3:1), Molybdophos horic acid was used as an end oint indicator. The m e t h J i s simpler than the classic Snd2-HgC1 KzCrzO titration method and avoids the mercury compoungwaste disposal problem (019). It is often important to know the concentration of various oxidation states of iron in ores, slags, and other materials. QpicalIy, total iron is determined, and then a separate weight of the sample is dissolved with nonoxidizing acid under an inert atmosphere for the determination of iron(I1). Metallic iron is determined by reacting another weight of the sample with a solution (e.g., copper sulfate solution) that selectively dissolves iron(0) by ionic displacement. Iron(II1) is calculated by difference. Many variations on this scheme and other schemes are possible. For example, in one paper 5% ferric chloride solution is used to dissolve metallic iron in iron ores and agglomerates. The iron(I1) reaction product was titrated with potassium dichromate to a sodium diphenylamine end point (020).In another a roach, metallic iron is selectively dissolved with mercuric c/%ride-salicylic acid-ethanol solution, and the dissolved iron is uantified spectrophotometrically with sulfosalicylic acid (821).One investigator used a new ap roach for distinguishing the iron(I1) and iron(II1) states in bast furnace irons containing high titanium. After dissolution in dilute hydrochloric acid under a protective atmosphere, iron(II1) was determined spectro hotometrically as the thiocyanate complex and the iron( ) content was calculated by difference from total iron (022).Zinc-iron alloy galvanizing solutions were analyzed for ferrous and ferric ion concentrations. Iron(I1) was titrated with potassium perman anate solution, and in a separate portion of sample, ironhII) was titrated with titanous chloride solution (023). Rapid instrumental techniques for distinguishing and quantifyin the oxidation states of iron for process control of ore hantling operations are possible. In one paper the ferrous oxide content of ore sinter has been determined by measuring the magnetic permeability of the material (024). Also s ecialized, possibly semiempirical, tests have been de) 'magnetite iron" s c r i d for determining 'ore iron" (025and (026)in ores, beneficiation tailings, and other materials. LEAD Lead is an important tramp contaminant of nearly all steels used for critical applications. Carefully sorted scrap is a crucial requirement in steel production, since leaded steels (manufactured for their free-machining properties) and lead-bearing solders can contaminate the furnace charge and are difficult to refine out completely. Trace and ultratrace lead determination is, therefore, nearly always a concern in steel industry laboratories. In the U.S., Europe, and Japan, X-ray and optical emission and, especially, electrothermal atomic ab-

Higher (alloyed) levels of lead are usually determined by flame atomic absor tion. &e color reaction of lead with potassium iodide and rhodamine B in the resence of gelatine and Triton X-100 has been utilized to &&ermine traces of lead in steels. The ion association complex was measured spectrophotometricall at 600 nm (El). Lead was also extracted from potassium i d d e solution into a 1:l mixture of cyclohexanone and methyl isobutyl ketone and then reacted to form an ion association complex with pyrogallol red and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, which absorbs at 610 nm (E2).Cathodic strippin voltammetry was applied to the determination of traces of lea8 in steel. In the resence of selenium, in KHSO -K+301 buffer at pH 1.91, leazselenide was deposited at -0.6 and stripped cathodically at -1.0 V. A detection limit of 0.1 ppm was observed (E3). Square wave polarography was used to determine lead over the range 0.003-2.22% in cast irons and steels. The supportin electrol was 1 N HC1-0.12% ascorbic acid (E4). Leacf(and cat$!&, and copper) was also isolated by extraction of diantip ylheptane complexes and measured by AC polarography g16). Laser fluorescence spectrometry was applied to the determination of traces of lead in stainless steel. A YAG:Nd3+ pulsed laser was used for solid sample ablation. After a time delay of 1.5-5.0 ps, a dye pulsed laser excited the lead fluorescence at 233.3 nm. An estimated relative detection limit of 0.01 ppm was observed (E5).Lead was determined in steel by means of a double-tube graphite furnace atomic absorption k m a n background correction. spectrophotometer, emplo The inner (microsized) t u E composed of pyrolitic graphite.

MANGANESE Manganese has been determined in steels by reaction of the +VI1 oxidation state with trimethylenebis(tripheny1phosphonium) bromide at pH 6.0. The ion pair is extracted into naphthalene in dimethyl ketone. A pink solid is filtered off, dissolved in chloroform, and measured spectrophotometrically at 548 nm (E7,E8). Manganese(II) forms a complex with mandelohydroxamic acid, which is extracted in trioctylmethylammonium chloride (Adogen 464)-toluene and measured spectro hotometrically (E9).Manganese(I1) also reacts with 8-hy8oxyquinoline to form a yellow com lex, which is extracted from alkaline solution with the liquii ion exchanger Aliquat 336 and measured (at 420 nm) (EIO). Another reaction involves the red-violet complex with 5,s'dithiodisalicylhydroxamic acid, which is extracted into Ad en 464-benzene and measured at 495 nm (Ell).A new azoyye, 5-amino-2-(2-quinolylazo)phenol,reacts with manganese(I1) in basic medium to form a red complex, which absorbs at 530 nm (E12).A spectrophotometric flow injection scheme was used to determine manganese in a range of steels. The carrier stream is 10% (w/v) ammonium fluoride, buffered at pH 6; the reagent stream is 0.25% (w/v) ethylenebis(tripheny1phosphonium) bromide. Manganese(VI1) in the sample reacts to form an ion association complex, which is extracted into chloroform and measured at 545 nm (E13). Use of high-order differentiation (d3e/dt3versus E) has allowed the determination of major amounts of manganese b oscillopolarographic titration. The method has been appfed to manganese-iron alloys and other alloys (E14).The manganese content of spM steel, galvanized iron, high tensile steel, and mild steel was cfetermined by neutron-activation analysis usin zazCfas a neutron source (E15).In the X-ray fluorescence etermination of low levels of manganese in high chromium steel, the interference of K /3 chromium radiation can be avoided by using a chemical separation approach (E16).

of the color reaction with thiocyanate was reatly improved by adding OP (a nonionic surfactant) (El& Very low concentrations of molybdenum could be determined in steel and ores by forming an ion association complex between the anionic molybdenum thiocyanate moiety and Nile Blue in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol, Arabic gum, and dilute sulfuric acid. The s ectro hotometric measurement is made at 630 bfenum over the range 0.53-4.92% in highnm (E19). speed tool stee& was determined by formation of the thiocyanate com lex and extraction with butyltri henylhosphoniumtromide into microcrystalline benzop enone. !‘he solid is dissolved in chloroform, and its optical density is measured (E20). A fifth use of the thiocyanate complex was in a paper that described a hi h through ut (40 samples/ h) flow injection s tem in whi% solid steepsamples are dissolved electrolytic& by applying 200 mA of dc current for 8 s in a flowing carrier stream of 1.0 M KC1/0.1 M HCl. The molybdenum thioc anate complex is measured spectrophotometrically. Caliiration was performed with steel standard reference materials and was found to be linear over the range 0.7-2.7%. The system showed no baseline drift durin continuous operation for 4 h (E21). The ternar compfex of mol bdenum with thiocyanate and N-octyl-d phenylbenzami&ne in a benzene extract has been exploited in a spectro hotometric method (E22). Several coyor reactions that do not involve thioc anate were also reported. One group of investigators reacted d e dissolved sample with malachite green and dilute sulfuric acid (ascorbic and tartaric acids were added as masking agents) and then extracted it with 4,g-di-tert-but 1-3-methoxycatecholin toluene. The ion association comp ex was measured at 635 nm. The effect of tungsten was removed by an applied correction (E23). Another method involves the reaction of molybdenum with o-nitro henylfluorone and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in dfute hydrochloric acid solution. The red complex absorbs at 530 nm (E24). Molybdenum also forms a complex with caffeic acid, which was extracted with Aliquat 336 (a liquid ion exchanger) at pH 4.0 and measured at 340 nm on a spectrophotometer, as well as by atomic absorption spectro hotometry (E25). The complexes between molybdenum an some anilides of merca to acids were exploited in a spectro hotometric ap roach 83%). Molybdenum reads with 9-(3,5-~bromo)salicy~uorone and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide to form a temary complex, which absorbs at 527 nm (E27). The complex between molybdenum and quinalizarin in the presence of cetylpyridinium chloride absorbs at 580 nm. The method has been applied to cob& and nickel-base alloys, as well as to steels (E28). A fluorometric method based on the complex with dibromophenylfluorene has been applied to iron and steel. The excitation was at 450 nm, and the emission wavelen h was 550 nm (E29). A kinetic chemiluminescence met od for molybdenum was reported based on the acceleration of the potassium bromate-potassium iodide-luminol reaction. A preliminary ion exchan e separation was used for steel samples (E30). A stripping-vokammetric method for trace amounts of molybdenum was applied to steel. Molybdenum was preconcentrated at a stationary mercury microelectrode, and then the current produced by cathodic polarization of the electrode was measured (E31, E32). In a solution of 8hydroxyquinoline, sodium nitrate, and malonic acid at pH 2.50, molybdenum was determined by polar0 raphy and applied to trace levels of the analyte in steel (g33). A similar approach was utilized by another group of investigators (E%), and a variant of the procedure was also published (E35). A volumetric method for major amounts of molybdenum was reported. It utilizes an aluminum-copper alloy to reduce the anal e, addition of a quantitative excess of ferric alum, and bac titration of the excess with potassium dichromate solution. The method was applied to the assay of ferromolybdenum (E36). After isolation by extraction with abenzoinoxime in chloroform, molybdenum was determined by thermometry by means of ita catalytic effect on the reaction between iodide ion and hydrogen peroxide (E37).

to the determination of nickel in stainless steel (F1).Amon the numerous new spectrophotometric procedures ia a methO i that involves formation of a 1:21 nickel:benzylamhe:xylenol orange complex, which absorbs at 600 nm (F2).After isolation of the nickel by extraction of the dimethyl lyoxime complex into chloroform, traces of nickel were r e a d w i t h hematoxylin in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (which greatly sensitizes the color reaction) and measured at 608 nm (F3). After absorption on sulfh dry1 cotton and elution with 0.1 M HC1, nickel was reacteBPnth 2-(5-chloro-2-pyrid 1azo)-1,5-diaminobenzene in the presence of sodium decylbenzenesulfonate and Tween40 in ammonium acetate solution at pH 7.1. The red complex shows a maximum absorbance at 530-534 nm (F4). After removal of the iron matrix by extraction with MIBK, the nickel in steel alloys was determined by formation of the complex with 2-(3,5-dibromoyridylazo)-5-dimethylaminobenzoicacid in the resence of h i t o n X-100. The complex absorbs at 632 nm ($5). Nickel was also determined spectrophotometrically by measuring the ternary complex, nickel/3-(4’,5’-dimethyl-5’-thiazolylazo)2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid c anide, which forms at pH 9.2 usin a borate buffer (k67. Nickel reacts with 3-(2pyrifyl)-5,6-di henyl-1,2,4-triazine at pH 6.8; the complex is then extracteg into 1,2-dichloroethane with ethyl tetrabromophenolphthalein to form an ion association complex, which is measured at 610 nm (F7).Other complex formin reagents that have been applied to the determination of nickf in steel are 3-(4’,5’-dimethyl-2’-thiazolylazo)-2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid (F8), 2-(4,5-dimethylthiazolylazo)-5-dimethylaminobenzoic acid (F9), 2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-5-diethylaminobenzoic acid (FIO),1-(5’-bromo-2’- yridyl)-5-thiocarbonyl-3-phenylformazan(FII),and 2-(6’-&omo-2’-benzothiazolylazo)-5-carboxyphenol(F12).A polarographic procedure based on the irreversible reduction of the nickel comlex with 2-amino-3-hydrox yridine has been applied to honel, Inconel-600, and staiTess steel (F13). A volumetric method for nickel levels above 6% in cobalt-free alloy steel has been described. Interferences are masked with sodium hexametaphosphate and potassium fluoride. An excess of standard chelating agent (EPTA) is added, along with CuEDTA, Tween-80, and Cu-PAN indicator. The solution is then back titrated with standard copper sulfate solution (F14).

NIOBIUM Polarographic methods for niobium have appeared in the literature covering two distinct concentration ranges. Trace levels of the analyte are addressed by three papers. In one, the niobium-chlorosulfophenol S complex (in HC1/HN03 medium) is absorbed on a mercury drop electrode and yields a derivative wave at -0.77 V (versus a saturated calomel reference electrode) (F15).In another, the niobium-tartaric acid-nitrosulfophenol S complex (in HCl NaN03 medium) yields a catalytic wave peak potential of -0. 5 V (versus a SCE) (F16). In the third, niobium is shown to yield a catal ic polarographic wave at approximately +0.30 V (versus a S E) in an aqueous solution of 2 4 5-bromo-2-~dylazo)-5-(diethylamino)phenol, tartaric acid, and ED A at pH 2.2-2.7 (F17).The concentration range 0.51-2.08% Nb in steel and nickel-base alloys was addressed in another polarographic paper in which the effects of various mixed electrolyte media were studied (F18). Traces of niobium in iron ores were determined by a fluorescence quenchin approach. Niobium forms a nonfluorometric complex &at quenches the fluorescence of the dibromophenylfluorone-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide system. The exciting wavelength was 472 nm, and measurements were taken at 562 nm (F19).Several spectrophotometric methods have been published. In one, niobium is extracted with dichloromethane from an aqueous solution containing hydrochloric acid, potassium thiocyanate, and metoclopramide hydrochloride. The extracted complex absorbs at 385 nm (F20).In another paper, traces of niobium in iron and steel were determined by formation of the complex with phenylfluorone in the presence of cetylpyridinium bromide and measurement at 520 nm (F21). Niobium was determined in alloy steels over the range 0.003-0.12% in the presence of as much as 0.1% tantalum by solvent extraction of hexafluoroniobate, reextraction with water, and formation and measurement of the sulfochlorophenolS complex.

PHOSPHORUS Because of troublesome interference and sensitivity problems with both o tical emission and X-ray fluorescence aproaches, the megod of choice for phosphorus in steel at levels h o w about 0.005% remains the "classic" s ctrophotometric technique based on the formation of the Kue (reduced) or, less frequently, the yellow (oxidized) phosphomolydate complex. Another alternative that is sometimes employed is based on colorimetric measurement of the phosphovanadomolybdate complex. One pa er examined certain problems with this latter ap roach, wkch has been adopted as the International Standarxs Organization (ISO) method for steel and irons. It was found that silicon produced a positive interference as did arsenic, chromium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, and t The method was modified to eliminate the silicon pro lem; the remaining effects were also investigated (IC%). .An indirect atomic absorption method was published involving the formation of the bismuth0 hosphomolybdate complex, which was extracted into methyrisobutyl ketone and measured (F2.5). A new sensitive colorimetric system was described, based on the formation of an ion association complex: ethylrhodamine B-molybdophosphoric acid-polyvinyl alcohol. The complex absorbs strongly at 584 nm (F26). An automatic spectrophotometric analyzer was developed for trace phosphorus in steel. Sample dissolution is the only manually performed step. Phosphorus levels as low as 2 p m were determined in 6 min (F27).A paper on the reducefphos homolybdate method showed that the effect of arsenic in tEe sample can be eliminated by adding sodium thiosulfate (F28). Phosphorus in stainless steel slags was determined by dissolving the sample in hydrochloric acid to generate phoshine gas, which was collected in saturated bromine water. he excess bromine was removed, and the solution was measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (F29).a article activation analysis, using an intemal standard and t i e method of standard additions, was shown to provide recise and accurate values for phosphorus in low alloy steels b30). Phosphorus se gation in solid steel pieces can be detected with a chemicalrimpre ated paper sheet. The specially prepared sheet is coated witEcid-treated pelatin and a triazine-type solidifyin agent. After drying, it is dipped in a mol bdate solution ($31). Interest in very i w levels of phosphorus in both steel and %h-temperature superalloys has spurred other developments. eae include a concentration technique in which hosphorus is collected in a beryllium hydroxide precipitate h32) and a method based on solvent extraction and s ectrophotometric measurement of the ion association compgx of crystal violet and phosphomolybic acid (F33).

The sample is cooled, diluted, treated with hydrazine dihydrochloride to reduce cerium, manganese, and vanadium, and further diluted. Yttrium is added as a coprecipitant, and the solution is treated with both hydrofluoric acid and ammonium hydrogen fluoride. The precipitated rare earths are collected on a 0.2-pm membrane filter that is then dried and measured. X-ray intensity ratios were measured against the yttrium as an internal standard. A relative standard deviation of 2% at the 0.075% concentration level and of 4% at the 0.0005% concentration level was obtained (G2). ICP emission spectrometry was applied to the determination of trace lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, and samarium in cast iron, and three different correction methods were applied to the removal of iron interference from the sample matrix (C3).Yttrium was determined in nickel-base superalloys down to 10 ppm concentration levels by using microwave-assisted dmolution (minimizing the amount of hydrofluoric acid employed) and measurement by ICP optical emission (G4). Neutron activation was employed to determine individual rare earths in steel first by solvent extraction removal of the iron and then by sorption of the rare earths on a deposit of calcium oxalate. After neutron activation, the rare earths on the deposit were measured by us' a Ge(Li) detector. Lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, an neodymium were determined. The method is also applicable to i iron (125).A method based on the direct fluorescence ion in acid solution was applied to iron-base materials of after removal of the iron matrix by solvent extraction (C6). Spectrophotometric methods are common for the rare earths, and some are very sensitive, but almost none are completely element specific. Arsenazo I has been applied to raseodymium in pig iron and steel (0. Arsenazo I11 has en used for total rare earths in ferroalloys (G8), in stainless steels (G9),and for an electrographic test for rare earth elements diffused into a steel surface ((310). Arsenazo DBM was used for light rare earth elements in steel and iron (G11). Arsenazo DBC was applied to rare earths in iron ores (1312) and modular cast iron (1313).The compound, 2-(5-bromo-2pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)phenolfound a plication for total rare earths in cast iron, low all0 steel, antores (G14). Both the p- and m-isomers of fluorochoraphosphonazoform complexes with the rare earths. The -isomer was applied to steel (G15). Total rare earths in nod& cast iron were determined with bromophosphonazo-PSN (CIS). ChlorophosphonazoDBS was applied to total rare earths in alloy steels (G17). Similarly, chloro hosphonazo-p-Cl was used for iron and steel (GIB) and p-iocfochlorophosphonazo was a plied with and without a masking step to distinguish total "[eavy" and total "light" rare earths (G19). ChlorophosphonazomK was applied to the cerium subgroup in stainless steels (GZO). The ternary complexes that rare earths form with p-hippuric acid chlorophosphonazo and cet ltrimethylammonium bromide were exploited for steel ((7217.One paper described the synthesis of Arsenazo DBM, p-trifluoromethylchlorophosphonazo,pfluorochlorophosphonazo, and m-fluorochlorophosphonazo, and their application to the determination of rare earths in steel and alloys (G22).

RARE EARTHS Methods for total rare earths, in which the chemically similar lanthanides (as well as scandium, yttrium, and lanthanum) are determined in sum, have been common and valuable in the steel and cast iron industries. While cerium show some usable redox behavior and chroic separations of the entire series are possible, most specific rare earth determinations are performed with some type of spectro aphic technique. One of the problems common to this worfis illustrated in a published paper on the determination of cerium in cast irons by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The nonhomo eneous distribution of cerium's com ounds with oxygen antsulfur led to poor results with solicfspecimens. The problem was solved by employing a wet chemical preconcentration technique in which the dissolved sample was reacted with oxalate and the precipitated cerium was measured (without ignition to the oxide) (GI). Another X-ray fluorescence approach was applied to the determination of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, and samarium in steels. After dissolution of the sam le in a Teflon vessel and removal of the chromium as chrom ?chloride while heating to fumes of perchloric acid, the cooled: diluted sample is treated with phosphoric acid and again heated to fumes.

aliquot was adjusted to pH 5.3-5.4, a total ion strength buffer was added, and the solution was titrated with standard lanthanum nitrate solution, using a fluoride specific ion electrode to detect the end point (G28).Silicon was determined in iron ore mixtures by using an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer with roll-compacted samples (G29).

STRONTIUM There was a surprising degree of interest in this element in the past 2 years, all of it from the Peop!e’s Republic of China. A polarographic method was described that is applicable to the range 0.005-1 % in steel. The iron matrix is eliminated with tetrameth lammonium hydroxide; then tetramethylammonium iodiJe in alcoholic aqueous solution serves as the sup orting electrolyte (at pH 8) ((330). Two related spectropiotometric methods, both applicable to 0.005-0).5%strontium in steels and both utilizing DCTA to mask interference from calcium and magnesium, have been reported. The first utilizes arsenazo 111, and the strontium complex is measured at 640 nm (G31); the second utilizes chlorophosphonazo111, and the complex absorbs at 660 nm (G32). Using dual-wavelength spectrophotometryand in the presence of acetone, sodium sulfate, and EDTA, another strontium com lex was ap lied to a silicon-iron alloy. The reagent is 2-(4P-chloro-2’-p\osphonaeo)-7-(2’,6’-dibromo-4’chloro henylazo)-l,8-dihydroxy-3,6-naphthalenedisulfonic acid. !he maximum absorbance is at 630 nm, and the procedure is not affected by the presence of other alkaline earth elements or of iron (G33). SULFUR In steel production laboratories, sulfur determination is nearly always linked to carbon determination since the combustion-based determinators usually measure these elements simultaneously. In these instruments the SO produced from the sample is usually measured by infrared aisorption; however, many older instruments based on an automated or semiautomated volumetric titration are still in use, and a few laboratories have applied a spectrophotometric finish to achieve very low detection limits. Several papers describing innovations in the determination of both sulfur and carbon have been discussed in the section on carbone(B7-B11, B15). One group of investigators determined sulfur in iron and steel by wrappin the Sam le in tin foil, placing it in a copper crucible wit! iron, moyybdenum silicide, and additional tin powder, and extracting the sulfur with an electric arc discharge. Measurement is by acid-base titration with sodium hydroxide solution to a mixed indicator (methyl orangebromocresol reen) end point (C34). Sulfur is afso determined by optical emission and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. X-ray techniques, in particular, are subject to effects from the morphology of sulfur compounds in steel. One investigator discovered improved accuracy when a shallow mold was used to cast the analytical sample, if the near-surface, fie-grained portion was analyzed (G35). Sulfur was determined in cast iron by finishing the measurement with a new metallochromic indicator titration based on copper(I1) and 4-(3,5-dichloro-2-pyridylazo)-1,3diaminobenzene (G36). Sulfur in steel was also determined by molecular emission cavity analysis; however, man anese was found to impede the release of sulfur and may also fepress the molecular emission (G37). Sulfur can also be determined by dissolving the sample in h drochloric, nitric, and hydrofluoric acids, reducing the oxiiized sulfur compounds to HzS phosphorous and hydroiodic acids, and transporting g % t r e d gas to an absorbing solution by means of a stream of nitrogen. The absorbin solution contains zinc acetate, ferric ion, and NJV-dimethyfp-phenylenediamine,The latter reacts to produce methylene blue, which is measured s ec trophotometrically (C38).Sulfur was also determined)by absorbing the SOzevolved from combustion of the steel sample in a standard solution of potassium permanganate and measuring the degree of color loss spectrophotometrically (G39).

TIN Tin is an important tramp contaminant of nearly all steels. At very low levels it can present a particularly vexing problem for the analyst since many of the simpler, standard approaches 72R

are beset with either sensitivity roblems, matrix interference problems, or both. One commorfy employed route is to isolate the tin by distillation of the hydride (SnHJ. Traces of tin in tungsten steel and molybdenum steel were determined by combining hydride generation with nondispersive atomic fluorescence spectrophotometry (HI). In another procedure the evolved SnHl is carried over a gold porous electrode with a stream of nitrogen. The tin is oxidized, enerating a POtential proportional to ita concentration. he method was applied to iron ore analysis (H2). A direct method for tin in iron and steel is baaed on catalytic polarography in perchloric acid solution containing ammonium vanadate, potassium iodide, and ascorbic acid. It has been applied over the range O.OOO1-0.1% tin (H3). Two spectrophotometricmethods for tin show similar interference effects from molybdenum and tungsten. In one, tin is reacted with trihydroxy-4’-sulfazobenzene and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in dilute sulfuric acid solution to form a com lex that absorbs at 470 In the other, tin is reacte1 with 9-cinnam 1-2,3,7nm (H4). trihydroxy-6-fluoroneand cetyltrimethylammonium gromide in dilute sulfuric acid solution to form a complex that absorbs at 508 nm (H5).

Titanium also reacts with Nhydroxy-NJV’-diphenylbenzamidine and thiocyanate to form a yellow complex that can be extracted into chloroform from dilute sulfuric acid solution and measured at 390 nm (Hll). A fluorescence quenching method based on titanium, 5bromosalicylfluorone, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in dilute sulfuric acid was ap lied to iron and steel (H12). A similar method based on 4,5-&bromophenyMuoronehas been applied to stainless steels (H13).Oscillo olarographic measurement of a irreversible cathode wave rom the complex of titanium with 10-undecenehydroxamicacid has been reported (H14).An indirect polarographic method involves formation of 11-molybdotitanophosphoricacid, extraction with solvent, back extraction with base, and measurement of the molybdenum(V1) by its catalytic effect on the polarographic reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H15). Similarly, a titanium polar0 raphic catalytic wave in the system PAR-hydrogen peroxiiesodium bromate has been a lied to the trace determination of titanium in alloy steels ( B 6 ) . A working group in the Federal Republic of Germany conducted tests to optimize the determination of trace levels of titanium in steel by ICP o tical emission and X-ray fluorescence (HI7). Titanium(I8 in blast furnace slag was determined at high levels by first removing metallic iron and other active metals by ionic displacement with Cu2+salta and then measuring the hy produced by reacting the sample with phosphoric or hy rochloric acid (H18).

TUNGSTEN This element is often determined spectrophotometrically by measurement of its thiocyanate complex, but molybdenum and vanadium are serious interferences. The method has the advantage of relative simplicity, however, as compared to much more involved avimetric and volumetric methcds, and so it is often applief even to relatively high concentration samples. In one paper the interferences are handled by first removal of the iron matrix by precipitation of the hydroxide and then adding zinc chloride, titanium(II1) chloride, ammonium thiocyanate and adjusting the acidity prior to differential spectrophotometric measurement. The method was a plied to 6-20% tungsten in alloy steels and nickel-base J o y s (H19).

VANADIUM The literature is re lete with references on vanadium determination in steel. t h i s abundance of interest may relate to the interesting and difficult problems that this element’s aqueous chemistry often presenta to the steel analyst. One paper described a olarographic method based on reduction of the vanadium(Vkx ferron complex, using linear potential voltammetry (H27). n another, a highly sensitive polarographic catalytic wave of vanadium is produced in a system containing 3,5-dichloro-DMPAP, sodium bromate, and dilute sulfuric acid (H28).High concentrations of vanadium are frequently determined by redox titration. In a new variant, one a er describes the selective reduction of Cr(V1) and M n ( h 8 with absolute ethanol, thiourea, and sodium nitrite, followed by titration of V O with standard ferrous ammonium sulfate to a green N-phenylanthranilic acid indicator end point (H29). The bulk of the extensive literature on this element, however, is composed of spectrophotometric methods. The vanadium(V) catal zed oxidation of 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid dihydrochloride %y potassium bromate was ex loited in a sensitive kinetic method (H30). The complex getween vanadium and 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylaz0)-5-(diethylamino)phenol in the presence of OP surfactant was ap lied to low alloy steels (H31).

MOLTEN METAL ANALYSIS If there is an area of intense research in the analysis of steel today it is in molten metal analysis. It has long been recognized that the economics and quality control of steel roduction depend critically on rapid chemical analysis o f inprocess metal. While most steel producers today still re1 on chill-cast molds or immersion samplers to obtain a solidlfor transport to a control laboratory, recent developments suggest that the future of steel process control analysis may be at the furnace side and in the control pulpit. Two apers consider the future of molten metal analysis ( K l , K27: however, much of this techno10 is still evolvmg, and many patents are being issued. Slight y over one-half of the references found in this category are from Japan; although there were a si ificant number of papers from the US. and Germany (FR!?+ GDR), these combined re resented only about 25% of the total. The other countries contributed to the literature-Norway, Canada, the U.K., Belgium, Brazil, the People's Republic of China, and the USSR-demonstrate the broad interest in this topic. Hydrogen. The new HYDRIS direct immersion probe for measurement of the hydrogen content of molten steel has been described (K3) and evaluated in service. The measurement reproducibility was superior to that obtained from laborato determination from samples obtained by using dual-wx samplers.

steef(K6). A similar probe technique has been developed at

Nippon Steel Corporation. The conversion calculation from hydrogen content of the equilibrated inert gas to h dro en content of the molten metal is based on Sievert's law (57, #8). Oxygen. If one can speak of a technology in molten metal anal is that is nearing maturity it is the oxygen robe, which has g e n in use in some plants for over a deca e. In Japan alone, oxygen sensors are being consumed at a rate increase of about 60000 ieces/year, with nearly a half-million conthese 52% were used in RH or DH ladles, sumed in 1985. 25% in basic converters, and 11% for secondary refining steps (K9).One review that covers the development of a new compact solid state sensor has been published (K10). The oxygen activities in iron and nickel-based metal melts containing chromium were studied, and Cr2O3 was found to be the key oxide phase controlling the oxygen activity (K11). Melt tem erature, oxy en concentration, and operating time were stuzied in the C evelopment f of Zr02 and Tho2 solid electrolyte based probes (K12). Needle concentration cells that use a molybdenum/molybdenum oxide reference and a zirconia calcium oxide solid electrolyte have been built and tested ( 13). Numerous patents and patent applications have been filed for probe designs employing a range of solid electrolyte, reference, and counter electrode materials (K14-Kl8). An exhaustive listing cannot be given in this review. The effect of electron conduction in yttria-stabilized zirconia was evaluated in the probes based on that ceramic (K19). Silicon. A paper from Japan describes the determination of silicon in molten pig iron by injecting w o n to generate fine p l e s that are transported to an ICP emmion s p o g r a p h . sults over the range 0.2-1.0% silicon agreed wit laboratory analysis. Total time for the determination was 80 s (K20). Potentiometric probes for silicon are also being developed. One version was used in molten i iron and showed a reOther designs have sponse time between 32 and 70 s &). been developed for iron and steel (K22-K26). Phosphorus. Control of hosphorus removal in converter steel refining was achieved \y monitoring the CO, C02, H2, and O2 content of the waste gas (K27). Direct measurement of hosphorus levels is also ossible with potentiometric These have been usec?for both molten pig iron and molten steel (K28, K29, K24). Other Work. Chromium activity in iron-base and nickel-base melts is a probe measurement oal for certain investigators (K30)and one patent in this fie6 has appeared (K31). A number of papers and patents have appeared describin on-line monitoring of molten steel composition by using IC% o tical emission measurement of nebulized metal particles. &e sample is often generated by an ultrasonic probe lowered into the molten metal (or by gas nebulization), and the nebulized particles are trans orted into the plasma by an inert gas stream (K32-K34). related ap roach involves chlorination of the molten steel surfaces anttransport of the metal chlorides to the plasma torch. The investigators reported that excess oxygen and oxide gases caused difficulties by extinguishing the torch and that molybdenum could not be determined (K35, K36). Pulsed laser excitation of the molten steel surface is being investigated foro tical emission analysis of the metal bath composition. For t e first microsecond, a continuum is emitted, after this, the light has analytical value. Japanese work employed a 2-5Q-switched laser pulse at 1.06 pm to determine 0.2-4.7% carbon, 0.15-0.50% silicon, 0.15-0.30% manganese, 0.02-0.07% sulfur, and 0.15-0.18% phosphorus at a blast furnace skimmer (K37).

INCLUSIONS AND SECOND PHASES The scope of this section must be restricted to those topics that are primarily the concern of the analytical chemist (as

opposed to those that would interest a physical metallurgist). As a result, certain important instrumental techniques are treated lightly, and the reader is referred to the Fundamental Reviews issue of this journal for additional information. Another important source is Metals Abstracts. A review of chemical and ph sicochemical methods for characterizing steel inclusions h a s L n published. Dissolution methodology, rapid electrolysis, optical emission, and electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy are covered ( L l ) . A review has appeared covering electrochemical separation of carbide phases in tool steels and comparing their characterization by optical microscopy, scanning electron microecopy (SEM), electron microprobe analysis, and X-ray microstructural analysis (L2). A comparison of electrochemical isolation and analysis of steel precipitates and metallographicstudies concluded that the chemical ap roach is favored when determinin phase variation and c emical composition, while the medographical approach is better in determining general phase transformation (L3). Electrolytic dissolution of the metal matrix is one commonly employed means for isolating a variety of compounds from steel. Titanium, niobium, and vanadium carbonitrides were isolated from high-strength weldable steels by electrolysis at 0.3 V and 0.4 A/cm2 in 0.6 M HC1. Some solubility of the precipitates in the electrolyte was noted (L4). A new electrolyte containing 1% ascorbic acid and 0.5% tetramethylammonium chloride in methanol has been applied to the isolation of yttrium sulfide from low alloy and stainless steels (L5). A radioactive tracer technique was employed to determine the stability of cerium sulfide and cerium oxide during electrolytic isolation from steel (L6). The presence of CeC2 in some steels was proven by electrolytic isolation and application of metallography, Au er spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron micropro%e analysis (L7). Inclusions isolated from steel with iodinemethanol dissolution of the matrix can be analyzed for nitrogen by fusion in molten alkali and removal of the ammonia in an argon stream. The nitride nitro en is quantified by coulometric titration of the ammonia. 8r2N and ZrN are not completely decomposed by the alkali fusion technique (Ls).Boron nitride can be decomposed by a medium of ammonium sulfate, copper sulfate, and sulfuric acid by heating at fumes for 1h. In the resence of the dissolved steel matrix (as in determining total loron), phosphoric acid is added to the same mixture, which is heated at fumes for 25 min (L9). Sulfides of magnesium, calcium, barium, and rare earths and rare earth oxysulfides were determined b reduction with hydrogen at 600-900 OC and collection of t i e evolved hydro en sulfide in cadmium acetate solution. The cadmium sulkde is then determined polarographically (Ll0). A thermogravimetric analyzer with a calibration magnet reproducibly attached to the furnace for the thermoma netometry was used to demonstrate the presence of car%ideand nitride phases (by their Curie transitions) in carbonyl iron powder (L11). Detection limits, spatial resolution, and beam penetration were surveyed for electron microprobe instruments operated in various modes and configurations (L12). Both spatial information and chemical identity for individual ions removed from the sample surface are available from a new field ion microscope with a osition-sensitive detector (L13). Various electron beam and 8-ray microanalytical techniques have been utilized in new and improved methodologies to detect and quantify precipitates in steel (L14-Ll8). The need for rapid and accurate "soluble" and "insoluble" aluminum determinations (see Aluminum section, above) has highlighted the need for an umpire chemical method and reliable standards. This led one investigator to examine the solubility of various aluminum oxide compounds that occur in steel. Other parameters crucial to the problem (oxide particle size, temperature, the presence of the iron from the matrix, etc.) were also studied (L19). Twelve inclusion laboratories cooperated in testing two methods (electrolytic and acid dissolution isolation) for the determination of A1203,Si0 ,MgO, and FeO in low alloy steel. Spectrophotometric and methods were used to quantify the elements in the isolated residues (L20).Similar work by 13 laboratories for the determination of oxide inclusions in stainless steels was conducted (L21).Ten laboratories cooperated in testing a method for MnS in heavy rail steel (L22). A method for rare earth inclusions (and metallurgically dis-

The method involves electrol ic isolation and s ctrophotometry using the Arsenazo-D F?C complex (1523). #e constituents of the carbide and y-prime hase isolates from nickel-base high-temperature alloys were letermined by means of an injection-flame atomic absorption approach ( L a ) .

SURFACE ANALYSIS

As in the previous section, here, as well, emphasis is placed

on chemistry at the expense of physical instrumental methods. For details on developments in surface characterization by Au er, ESCA, SIMS, and other similar methodologies, the reaier is ain referred to the Fundamental Reviews issue of Analytict?Chemistry in even-numbered years. This section covers both coatings and endogenous surface phenomena. Several ma'or review papers covering Auger electron spectroscopy, -ray photoelectron spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering, ion scattering spectroscopy, sputtered neutral mass spectroscopy, and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy have appeared in the last 2 years (MI-M6). The protective films produced by organic corrosion inhibitors have been studied by ESCA, Auger, SIMS, and LAMMA (M7).Passive films on iron, chromium, and their alloys were produced electrolytically, and then the specimens were transported under argon into the vacuum chambers of XPS and ISS instruments (M8). The plated layer on galvanized steel plates has been electrolytically removed in a water-methanol solution of ammonium nitrate, and the iron content of the zinc alloy layer was determined colorimetrically using the electrolyte (M9). X-ray fluorescence can be applied to iron determination and to determining adhesion in galvanized strip by measurin the Similarly, krRF same area before and after annealing (M10). has been used to determine the coatin weight of zinc phoshate films on steel by determining t i e zinc concentration TM11).The cathodic film on zinc plated steel sheet was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, which is then evaporated and the residue ignited at low temperature. The residue is dissolved in nitric acid, and zinc is measured by flame atomic The Cr(II1) and Cr(V1) concentrations of absorption (M12). chromate layers on galvanized steel strip were determined colorimetrically and found to be practically free of Cr(V1) (M13).A combination of wet chemical analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction has been used to characterize zinc phosphate and manganese phosphate compounds as coatin s on steel and in the corresponding phosphatizing sludges (h14).Infrared spectroscopy is being used for the qualitative and uantitative analysis of thin inorganic and o anic f i whicpl me applied to steel for corrosion protection

(115). Glow discharge o tical emission spectroscopy has become

an important tool For surface studies of steel. One paper reviews its use in depth profiling of thin films and coatings. It can also be used to measure coating weights. Some applications described are the characterization of phosphate coatin s, oxide scale assive layers, and chromium-depleted zones b16). G D O dwas used for the depth-profile anal sis of zinc-iron and zinc-nickel alloy layers on steel sheet and for iron-nickel and cop rzinc on copper and iron (M18). In both studies, integrategmission intensities were used to obtain elemental coating weights. Glow discharge optical emission has also been used to depth-profile both carbon and nitr en in a recent study of nitrided layers in ure iron (M19). Anoxer recent paper describes the use of GD8ES to quantify elements in phosphate coatings on both cold-rolled and hot-dipped galvanized steel sheets (M20). GDOES has also been used to obtain elemental coating weights on terne steel and to characsheet electroplated with lead-tin alloy (M21) terize iron-zinc electroplate on steel sheets for automotive use (M22).

SAMPLING, SAMPLE PREPARATION, AND STANDARDS This rather eclectic section is united by the fact that the papers and patents described here are concerned with essential prerequisites to analytical measurement. A disk sampling probe was used to sample 100-ton pouring ladles before and after vacuum degassin operations. It was found that for optimum accuracy in t t e optical emission determination of carbon, manganese, silicon, sulfur, phoshorus, titanium, aluminum, and copper, 0.8-0.9 mm must polished off the steel surface (N1). A study has shown that a double-tube sampler for sampling molten steel for hydrogen determination is superior to the conventional quartz tube sampler. In the double-tubesampler, the hydro en normally lost during solidification is retained, yieldin v ues that are 2.5-3.5 times those obtained b the quartz t&e technique for certain grades of steel (N2). probe that has been used for basic oxygen fumace sampling yields a sample of two different thicknesses: 12 mm for spectrographic work and 4 mm for mechanical punching to produce pieces for carbon, sulfur,and nitrogen determination. Punching is performed with a pneumatic 10-ton press (N3). Another report describes a series of improvements to the samplin and sample preparation methods employed in a steelworfs. These include a rapid sampler for a continuous slab caster, a blast furnace slag sampler, a white pig iron sampler, and an automatic sampler for process plating solutions. Improvements in grinding and sievin operations are also described (N4).Another paper descri%esfour different sample molds used to roduce spectro raphic specimens from molten cast iron (55). !i review of errors related to the sampling of iron ores has been published (N6). Hi h carbon ferrochromium yielded better data for chromium tetermination when the sample was A new ground to a particle size coarser than 200 mesh (N7). and less labor-intensive method for sampling and reparing low carbon ferrochromium has been described ( 8). High carbon ferrochromium, ferrosilicon, ferromolybdenum, ferroniobium, and ferrovanadium have been prepared for X-ray fluorescence analysis by addin pure iron chi s and remelting in a high-frequency induction f m c e (N9). iron-titanium alloy used for hydrogen adsorption applications was oxidized, remelted, and then rapidly solidified to form a lassy specimen Anot er paper illusfor X-ray fluorescence analysis (NIO). trates the preparation of steel, p' iron, and cast iron samplea The e#ect of the loss of combined for spectrometry (N11). water and the oxidation of iron during lass bead preparation for X-ray fluorescence has been studief with iron ores (N13). Small diameter weld wires have been pressed into a flat solid suitable for X-ray fluorescence analysis. Comparison with remelted Sam lee showed better control of oxidizable alloy components A new method of sample preparation for gases in steel involves immersion of the sample m a nonconductive solution and cutting and polishing the specimen by using an electrical dischar e ap aratus that employs both cutting and polishing electrofes. $he technique avoids contamination by oxygen Mild steel samples (which are commonly and nitrogen (N14). stored in liquid nitrogen to revent the loss of mobile hydro en) were stored in EDTI, imidazole, and a commercial inhkitor with an active amino oup and tested for hydrogen content. Both imidazole and t f e commercial inhibitor minimized hydrogen pickup, while all three media decreased hydrogen loss (N15).A 1-g steel sample was digested under pressure at 150 O C for 40 min with a 1:1:3 mixture of hydrofluoric acid:nitric acid:hydrochloric acid in a Teflon-lined pressure bomb. The procedure was found to completely decompose all the aluminum content of the sample, includin oxide and nitride inclusions (N16).A variety of ore and smelter samples, includin blast furnace slag and chrome refractory, were dissolvedBby a standardized procedure involving sodium peroxide fusion in a zirconium crucible and acid dissolution of the cooled melt. ICP emission spectroscopy was employed in the analysis. Sulfur recovery was almost total (N17).Standard pig iron samples have been prepared by the melting of pure elements in an induction furnace. The molten material is poured into a cop er mold and then hot pressed. The standards prepared in si!t manner have been useful in

ATOMIC ABSORPTION For most steel making operations, atomic absorption spectrophotometry is not considered a sufficiently rapid technique for process control. It has an important place, however, in the verification of finished product analyses, in raw material testing, in the monitorin of chemical process solutions, and for air and water comp iance testing. In addition, electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry has become the major technique in the f i i testing for residual levels of deleterious contaminants in critical end-use alloys. One review describes atomic absorption (and atomic emission) in its application to high-temperature alloy analysis (01). Sodium dodecyl sulfate was found to enhance the atomic absorption measurements of chromium and cop er and to eliminate the interference of iron and other ions in $e analysis Aluminum ion and chromium(V1) ion or aluof steels (02). minum ion and fluoride ion increased the sensitivity for titanium and vanadium using a nitrous oxide-acetylene flame. The additives also eliminated most interferences and increased the linear range of the calibration. The method was applied to low all0 steel and to titanium in an aluminum-chromium-iron J o y (03). Silicon in iron and nickel-base alloys was determined by a raphite furnace approach by using the method of standarcfadditions and calcium and lanthanum ions as matrix modifiers (04).Hi h alloy steel chips placed on a platinum substrate were diss8ved electrolytically. Tungsten and niobium were held in solution by the addition of tartaric acid and ammonium citrate. The method has been applied to the atomic absorption determination of trace levels of lead, tin, bismuth, and antimony (05). Methods for manganese, phosphorus, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, copper, vanadium, cobalt, titanium, aluminum, tin, lead, magnesium, calcium, zinc, bismuth, antimony, and tellurium were described in a Japanese publication (06). The use of pyrolytic graphite versus orous graphite furnace tubes in the electrothermal AA Zetermination of tin, antimony, lead, and bismuth was discussed in a recent paper. It was found that using electrospark dispersion to produce colloidal solutions of the steel sample allowed the porous graphite tubes to yie!d results equivalent to the use of acid dissolved samples in The spark-produced colloidal dispersion pyrolytic tubes (07). a proach to sample preparation for graphite furnace atomic agsorption measurement has been applied to nickel-based alloys, coppernickel alloys, and pure metals as well as to steels

Silver, bismuth, cadmium, lead, selenium, tin, tellurium, and zinc were determined in steels and superalloys by flame atomic absorption of methyl isobut 1 ketone extracts of the ion association complexes with iodiie and trioctylphosphine oxide (010). Arsenic and bismuth at levels between 0.5 and 200 ppm can be determined in steel by hydride generation atomic absorption. The effects of numerous method parameters were studied (011). Discrete nebulization of acid dissolved steel samples was employed to determine low levels of aluminum, antimony, arsenic, cobalt, lead, tin, and vanadium. The sensitivity for arsenic was increased by simultaneous nebulization of a sodium borohydride solution through Traces of manganese, one side of a branched capillary (012). cobalt, nickel, and copper were determined in iron ore by means of a solvent extraction AA a proach. The ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate com exes were extracted into meth 1 isobutyl ketone. The adchion of citrate (for cobalt, nicker and copper) and iron (for man anese and copper) prevented the coextraction of iron (01& While atomic absorption is usually associated with minor and trace elemental determinations, it is sometimes applied to major steel components. After dissolution in a mixture of phosphoric, hydrochloric, and nitric acids, sample solutions were evaporated to salta, cooled, and dissolved in water. Magnesium chloride, sulfosalic lic acid, and N-cyanoacylacetaldehyde hydrazone were ad&ed (to remove interference

from iron and silica) and measured by atomic absorption. The method was used to measure up to 2% manganese, 20% chromium, and 15% nickel (014). Manganese at 15-20% was determined by flame AA in a 15% chromium alloy. Careful adjustment of instrument arameters and closely matched standards was employed (815).

OPTICAL EMISSION Optical emission spectrometry, particularly in the form of the direct-reading polychrometer instruments, has been an essential technique for the steel indust? for many decades. Today, its utility as a rapid control tec nique, particular1 for the light atomic weight elements, remains unquestioned: And with the relatively recent commercial introduction of very stable high-temperature plasma excitation sources, optical emission techniques have extended their usefulness and versatility. One review of atomic emission applications to high-temperature all0 (which also covers atomic absorption) has been published ($1. Spectrographically measuring only the lowenergy portion of each spark discharge in the spark excitation of the sample has been shown to increase both the sensitivity and accuracy of the analysis. The method has been applied to the determination of carbon, hosphorus, sulfur, boron, and lead in steel (PI). Customizel excitation sources for areas of application include the high-energy prespark (HEPS) for major alloy components and spark analysis for traces (SAFT) (E?). An instrument system has been developed that accepts an unprepared solid sample. A robot prepares the sam le and presents it to an optical emission s ectrometer. Redigration is under computer control (P3). n a Swedish stainless mill, a robotically controlled argon-spark pistol and associated fiber-optic cable and spectrometer test about 60000 stainless plates/year. Total time is 30 s to identify the plate as one of about 100 grades of stainless steels (P4). An investigation to o timize the high-energy preexposure sparking of stainless steerwas conducted by using computer analysis (P5). Methods have recently been published for the determination of trace and low-level impurit elements in ferromolybdenum and ferrotungsten (p6)andin arsenic-bearing iron ores (p7)and for the determination of sodium and potassium in blast furnace slag (P8).The effect of matrix line interferences on the determination of sulfur in a cobalt-base superalloy has been studied in detail (P9).In other papers, the effects of sample the effeds of sample heat treatment (PII), temperature (PIO), and the use of a high-energy prespark (P12) were studied. The addition of wdered Teflon to powder samples with high iron, silicon, ancluminum contents was investigated for the dc arc determination of vanadium, titanium, and molybdenum (P13). The use of acid dissolved samples with inductively coupled plasma o tical emhion measurement is now a well-established methodoyogy that is in use throughout the world. Recent irons papers have described methods for low alloy steel (P14), nickel-based alloys (P16), and ferroalloys and steels (P15), (P17).A few laboratories now employ a system in which a high-voltage spark generates a metal aerosol from a solid sample; the aerosol is then swept by a flow of ar on into an ICP torch. One study for stainless steel showe a relative standard deviation of 0.48% at the 27% chromium level (P18). Another study examined the particles reachin the plasma by scanning electron microsco y and reveale that under optimal analytical parameters t L particles are aggregates of small (500-1500-& spheres (P19).A recent des@ system usea the se arate spark aerosol eneration in combination with a pulsef microwave-induce plasma. The system has been applied to the determination of nickel, manganese, and chromium in steels (P20).In another design, an atmospheric pressure capacitively coupled plasma both samples the solid specimen and serves as the spectral excitation (P21).The technique of hydride generation coupled to ICP optical emission has been applied in a multielement mode, in which trace levels of arsenic, bismuth, antimony, selenium, lead, tin, and cadmium in steel have been determined simultaneously. Further work is required, however, to optimize the technique (P22).Another study with multielement hydride/ICP measurement involved preliminary extraction of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth as the iodide complexes with methyl isobutyl ketone. The hydrides were enerated in the organic phase, diluted 1:l with formic acid. h#e' method was used for arsenic

and antimon in a nickel-iron alloy (P23). A new design nebulizer/hy&ide generator system, incorporating a cyclone nebulizer, facilitates the generation of hydrides directly from organic media and has been used for arsenic and antimony determination of nickel-iron (P24). Anion exchange chromato raphy has been used to separate the components of nickef-base and cobalt-base high-temperature alloys, prior to measurement by ICP optical emission (P25). A temperature-controlled graphite crucible connected directly to an ICP torch has been used to determine trace quantities of nine elements (P26). Laser ablation has been used to generate aerosols for introduction into an ICP torch. The majority of the matrix interferences observed have been attributed to the ablation mechanism (P27).Precision is generally poorer than for spark emission (P28)but can be im roved by moving the sample to prevent a loss of focus of the &r beam (P29).The mobilization of stainless steel by laser ablation was studied (P30). The direct use of lasers to enerate sample spectra is under investigation by a number of workers. Optimum conditions are being sought in one study (P31),while another is using the technique to determine residual elements in scrap samples (P32). Another paper listed approximate detection limits of 0.002% chromium, 0.005% manganese, and 0.001% copper in iron and steel (P33). Glow discharge o tical emission spectroscopy is currently a very active area orstudy for both surface analysis (see section on this topic, above) and for ow tom ositional analysis. A three-electrode hollow cat ode disclarge lamp has been desi ned for the use of flat solid Sam les (P34). Manganese an8 chromium determination in steer has been attempted by using the dual-cathode-threeelectrode des* which separates the sample sputtering process from the excitation process. Modulation of a bias voltage which controls the sputtering process allows selective detection of the sample emission intensities (P35).Significant influence from the Sam le matrix has been documented in the determination of &con, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, and vanadium In the analysis of medium alloy, high b glow diwh e (P36). ciromium, aghigh-speed tool steels, one study covers the kinetics involved in the sputtering of single elements and the relation of measured surface concentration and volume concentration (P37). Despite some shortcomings in regard to sample matrix effects, glow discharge emission spectroscopy shows considerable potential and has been used to determine 12 elements, with relative standard deviations spanning from 0.2% (for cobalt) to 2.0% (for carbon) (P38).

X-RAYFLUORESCENCE Modem high-speed steel production would not be possible without the computer-controlled simultaneous X-ray spectrometer. Similarly, sequential wavelength dispersive instruments have become an essential mainstay wherever time is not the critical issue. And ene dispersive units have made inroads in the competitive field r d o y sorting. The literature in this field centers around three areas: software, hardware, and practical applications. They will be considered in the following para raphs in reverse order (with allowances for some de ree o overlap). As with the other sections of this review wkch deal with instrumental approaches, for the most part only those papers that refer to multielement determinations will be considered here; sin le-element papers have been included in the appropriate e ement-specific sections. Three general review pa ers covering a plications in the area of high-temperature alroys (and other t i h-temperature materials) have been ublished. One covers t%e principles of X-ray fluorescence (&I, the second covers ener dispersive instruments (Q2),and the third covers wavelena dispersive instruments (Q3). Metallurgical treatments that produce vanadium, chromium, or tungsten carbide have been shown to affect the X-ray determination of numerous elements (P9). A fundamental parkmeters approach has been utilized to determine the major and minor alloying elements in nickelbased heat-resistin alloys. The calibration curves were obtained using a s m dsuite of standard reference materials, and the results were corrected by using theoretical a-coefficients. With the exception of aluminum, the relative standard deviations were all in the range 0.25-1.27% (Q4). The determination of carbon in steel remains an elusive problem that is under intensive study; la ered optical elements have been utilized with some success (&,Q6). Spotting an acid-dissolved

This method has$een appfied to the determination of neodymium, iron, and cobalt in a neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet alloy (67) and, with the addition of a zinc internal standard, to nickel, chromium, titanium, and manganese in stainless steels and elastic alloy wires ( 8 8 ) . Highspeed steels were successfully analyzed by usi the DeJongh correction algorithm. Results were obtained or vanadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, mol bdenum, and tun sten (89).Nickel-based heat-resisting d y s were analyzed y an acid dissolution/glass bead technique. Theoretical a coefficients were used to correct for interelement effects (910). Vanadium, silicon, phosphorus, manganese, and aluminum were determined in ferrovanadium by means of an oxidative fusion and the casting of a glass disk in a platinum mold (811). The effect of particle size distribution of iron ores on analytical results has been quantified and can be used to improve the accuracy of X-ray fluorescence data (Q12). Iron ores are typically either briquetted or fused for X-ray fluorescence analysis. One study showed that fusion with sodium tetraborate and casting a disk or pressing with a heated brass stamp yielded acceptable data (Q13). Other investigators found that with briquetted samples results were affected not only by particle size but also by the mineralogical influence of the a-F%03phaee (Q14). One study compared the resulta of X-ray fluorescence analysis of blast furnace slag and sinter (using pressed pellets) and wet chemical analysis (Q15). Electrosl remelting (ESR) fluxes containing rare earth elements as we as the slags they form in use have been successfully analyzed by X-ray fluorescence (816). A portable instrument for alloy sorting has been described. It utilizes a sealed gas pro ortional detector, a radioisotope source, and a programmabye microprocessor. Quantification is based on a modified Lucas-Tooth and price algorithm. The system has been used for sulfur in carbon steels and titanium and nickel in stainless steels. It is capable of rapidly sortin 7). A mercury(II7 stainless steels of similar composition (81 iodide detector has been tested for the determination of chromium, iron, nickel, niobium, and molybdenum in alloy and stainless steels (Q18). A scandium X-ray tube was compared to a rhodium X-ray tube for the determination of sulfur, phosphorus, silicon, aluminum, and carbon. Sensitivities obtained from the scandium tube were found to be twice those obtained from the rhodium tube (819). The scandium tube has been used to determine carbon over the range 0.76-1.23% in high-speed tool steels (620). A computer-based system for the quality control of XRF operations at a major U.S.basic steel producer's plant has been described. Inland Steel's East Chicago Works o rates three X-ray fluorescencespectrometers on an around-E-clock basis to analyze blast furnace iron and slag, sinter, iron pellets, and other furnace charge materials. Instrument data are archived in a data base management system, and rograms have been written to perform statistical analyses a n i generate plots that are useful both as a check on instrument calibration and to solve some production problems (Q21). In a basic experiment irregular particles of steel have been analyzed by embedding them in resin and measuring the analyte intensities, then slicin the resin into 0.5-mm sheets parallel to the plane of the d r a y beams and mapping the metal particles with an optical scanner. Fundamental parameter calculations are then used to obtain the count rates attributed to each pixel on the map (Q22). One aper describes the relationships between the correction coekcients in the Lachance, De Jongh and JIS (Japan Industry Standard) matrix effect algorithms (823). Based on theoretical models of the relationship between background intensity and matrix composition,a new technique for background correction has been applied to the determination of minor elements in stainless steels (Q24). Much current work focuses on the fundamental parameters approach to matrix effect correction. While known to be theoretically possible for many years, fundamental parameter calculations have only recently begun to realize their potential utility. Polychromatic primary X-ray excitation from the X-ray tube greatly complicates already formidable computations (825) that involve the instrument eometry, prim beam intensity, and other parameters. Pubfished work hayescribed the use of fundamental parameters for both wavelength dispersive and energy dispersive analyses of a number of sample types, in-
