1 SCOPE This Standard sets out a spectrophotometric method for the determination of
aluminium in steel. It is applicable to all steels with aluminium content in the range
0.002% to 1.4% aluminium.

3 PRINCIPLE The test portion is dissolved in acid and any insoluble aluminium
recovered by fusion with sodium hydrogen sulfate. Interfering elements are separated by a
mercury cathode separation and a cupferron solvent extraction. The aluminium content is
calculated from the measured absorbance of the coloured complex formed with
calcium-alizarin Red S.
4 REAGENT REQUIREMENTS
4.1 General All reagents shall be of analytical reagent grade and distilled water or
water of equivalent purity shall be used throughout. All solutions should be stored in
polyethylene or polypropylene containers.
4.2 Solutions
4.2.1 Nitric acid Carefully add 250 mL of nitric acid (ρ20 1.42 g/mL) to 250 mL of
water.
4.2.2 Hydrochloric acid (ρ20 1.18 g/mL)
4.2.3 Perchloric acid (ρ 20 1.67 g/mL)
