5、 Test Method3.1 The sample is dissolved in the appropriate acid:nitricacid(HNO3)for copper,hydrochloric acid(HCl)for iron.Theinsoluble matter is filtered out and ignited in a furnace at980 C for 1 h.4.Significance and Use4.1 The purpose of this test method is to determine theamount of gangue,refract
6、ory,inert,etc.,materials,that mayadversely affect compacting tools and sintered properties ofcomponents formed from copper and iron powders.4.2 The insoluble matter consists of those nonmetallicsubstances that do not dissolve in the mineral acid used todissolve the metal.In copper powder,which is tr
7、eated withnitric acid,the acid-insoluble matter includes silica,insolublesilicates,alumina,clays,and other refractory materials thatmay be introduced either as impurities in the raw material orfrom the furnace lining,fuel,etc.;lead sulfate may also bepresent.In iron powder,which is treated with hydr
8、ochloricacid,the insoluble matter may include carbides in addition tothe substances listed above.The test method excludes insolublematerial that is volatile at the ignition temperature specified.5.Interferences5.1 Any metallic tin present in the copper powder will beconverted into the insoluble tin
