A RAPID VOLUMETRIC METHOD FOR Si IN Al ALLOY (in Japanese)
A method for the determination of silicon in aluminum alloys was developed which consists of the formation of K/sub 2/SiF/sup 6/ and its titration with NaOH. About 0.2 to 0.5 g of sample were placed in a 300 ml polyethylene conical beaker; 60 ml of hot (1: 1) HNO/sub 3/ and 5 ml of HF were added. The sample was dissolved without heating, diluted with water to lOO ml. cooled rapidly to 20 deg C, and KNO/sub 3/ was added until the solution was saturated. The solution was flltered through No. 5A filter paper and the precipitate washed with cold washing solution (l50 g KNO/sub 3/ in 850 ml distilled water and 150 ml alcohol) until the washings were acid-free. The paper and precipitate were transferred to a 500-ml beaker and 200 ml of carbon dioxide-free boiling water was added. The solution was titrated, while still hot, with NaOH solution, using 5 drops of phenolphthalein indicator. One ml of 0.5 N NaOH = 0.3508% Si. With aluminum alloys, this method is only interfered with by titanium, tantalum, and zirconium. The entire procedure can be carried out within 50 min. (auth)
