Scope

This EURONORM specifies a method for the determination of calcium in steels by means of flame atomic absorption sptectrometry. The method is applicable to non-alloy and low-alloy steels with calcium contents greater than 0,0002 % (m/m).

NOTE The method has also been successfully applied to a highly alloyed steel with appropriate modification of the calibration solutions to contain the principal alloying elements in concentrations similar to those in the sample to be analysed (see Annex).
