Synopsis
Methods For The Chemical Analysis Of White Cast Iron Standards by J. I. Shultz is a practical reference detailing the procedures used by the National Bureau of Standards for the chemical analysis of white cast iron standard reference materials (1176–1183). The work outlines the scope and methods for determining ten major elements—carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, copper, nickel, chromium, vanadium, and molybdenum—using a combination of direct combustion, titration, photometry, and gravimetric techniques. It presents the structure of the analytical program, including the preparation of samples, the selection of homogeneous standards, and the calibration and quality control necessary to achieve accurate results. Each element is treated in a dedicated section that describes the principle, apparatus, reagents, procedural steps, calculation formulas, and typical ranges, as well as potential interferences and cross-checks. The publication, issued in 1965 as National Bureau of Standards Miscellaneous Publication 260-6, serves as a foundational reference for laboratories performing rapid analytical control in the iron and foundry industries.
