ISO 11438-6 is an international standard and a part of the ISO 11438 series that discusses the determination of thallium content for ferronickel. Ferronickel is primarily used in the manufacture of Austenitic stainless steels (known as 200 and 300 series).
ISO 11438-6 specifies an electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of thallium in the range of 0,3 g/t to 1,0 g/t in ferronickel, according to the principle of standard additions. The general requirements concerning the apparatus, sampling, dissolution of the test sample, procedure, calculation and test report are given in ISO 11438-1.
ISO 11438-6 on the determination of thallium content applies to:
Ferronickel is primarily used in the manufacture of Austenitic stainless steels (known as 200 and 300 series). Thallium is a chemical element with the symbol Tl and atomic number 81. It is a grey post-transition metal that is not found free.
ISO 11438-6 provides you with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry which has five advantages for the measurements of trace metals in biological materials:
ISO 11438-6 guides you in the determination of thallium content that helps you in manufacturing ferronickel materials. It includes atomic absorption measurements, a Semi-quantitative estimate of the thallium content and quantitative determination of the thallium content.
Overall ISO 11438-6 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
