Standard Test Method for Analysis of ASTM E2209 High Manganese Steel by Spark Atomic Emission Spectrometry

Developed by the American Testing and Materials Agency (ASTM), the ASTM E2209 standard provides a test procedure for accurately determining the chemical composition of steel alloys with a high manganese ratio. This procedure is suitable for production control and inspection tests. The full name of the standard is as follows: ASTM E2209 Standard test method for analysis of high manganese steel by spark atomic emission spectrometer.

Standard Test Method for Analysis of ASTM E2209 High Manganese Steel by Spark Atomic Emission Spectrometry

This test method involves the analysis of high-manganese steel with spark atomic emission spectrometry for the following elements in the ranges in the standard: aluminum, carbon, chrome, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, phosphorus and silicon. In the table, the range of positions for each element is given as a percentage.

The ranges in the table represent the actual levels at which this method is tested. These composition ranges can be extended to higher compositions using suitable reference materials. There is no sulfur between the elements, because different results are obtained between laboratories for sulfur and they pass acceptable limits at all analyte levels.

During the tests, the atoms in the sample are stimulated and heated to a high temperature with an electric arc or spark. Excited analyte atoms emit light at characteristic wavelengths that can be dispersed and detected with the aid of a device. Since the arc or spark conditions are not always well controlled, the analysis of the elements in the sample is qualitative. However, if modern spark sources with controlled discharges are used, the analysis is considered quantitative. Both quantitative and qualitative spark analysis are widely used in production quality control studies in foundries and steel mills.
