The previous editions of this document are as follows: — The first edition was issued in 1981 as GB/T 223.4-1981, Method 3; the first edition was revised in 1988 as GB/T 223.63-1988; — This is the second revised edition.   Introduction Iron and steel is the mainstay of the national economy, the lifeblood of a country and the material guarantee for the survival and development of a country. In the standard system of iron and steel, the standard system for determination method of iron, steel and alloy chemical composition is a very important part, which plays an important role in ensuring the quality of iron, steel and alloy products. The series of method standards serve the production, trade and application of iron, steel and alloy, and provide technical support for the high quality development of Chinese iron and steel industry. GB/T 223 includes a series of standards for determination of chemical composition of iron, steel and alloy, and respectively specifies the methods to determine the total content of silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, copper, vanadium, aluminum, titanium, cobalt, tungsten, niobium, zirconium, tantalum, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, arsenic, lead, tin, antimony, bismuth, cadmium, selenium, tellurium, cerium, boron, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and rare earth, and the chemical composition of hydrochloric acid and other insolubles in carbon steel and alloy products. GB/T 223 was firstly issued in 1963 as 12 national standards for determination of chemical composition of iron and steel. With the development of analytical technology in the field of iron, steel and alloy, and the actual demand of production, the current relatively perfect standard system has been formed through continuous revision over the years. The current parts of GB/T 223 are listed in Annex A. GB/T 223.63 specifies a method for determination of manganese content in iron, steel and alloy by sodium (potassium) periodate spectrophotometric method. It is consistent with the international standard after this revision.

After cooling, transfer the solution to a 1 000 mL volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with water and mix. Alternatively, weigh 0.5000 g of electrolytic manganese (mass fraction not less than 99.9%) [electrolytic manganese shall be washed in sulfuric acid (5 + 95) in front, after the surface of the manganese oxide is cleaned, take it out and immediately wash it with distilled water repeatedly, and then wash in anhydrous ethanol 4 to 5 times, take out and put in the dryer to dry before use] and put it in a 250mL beaker, add 20mL nitric acid (1+3), heat to dissolve.

Table 1 Test sample amount Manganese content (mass fraction) % Test portion G 0.001 to 0.01 2.0 >0.01 to 0.10 0.5 >0.10 to 1.00 0.2 >1.00 to 4.00 0.1 8.2 Determination 8.2.1 Preparation of test solution Place the test portion (see 8.1) in a 150 mL conical flask. — For the test portion with chromium content less than 5%, add 15 mL of nitric acid (see 5.4) [add 3 to 4 drops of hydrofluoric acid (see 5.1) for the test portion with high silicon content; add 15 mL of phosphoric-perchloric acid mixture (see 5.7) for the test portion with high tungsten content (more than 5%) or insoluble content], and heat at low temperature until the reaction stops. Add 1 mL to 2 mL of hydrochloric acid (see 5.2) and continue heating until completely decomposed. — For the test portion with high Ni-Cr content, add 10 mL (3+1), (6+1) or (10+1) of hydrochloric acid (see 5.2) and nitric acid (see 5.3) mixture, and heat at low temperature to dissolve. Note: When the test portion is 2 g, increase the amount of acid as appropriate so that the test portion is completely dissolved. Add 10 mL of phosphoric-perchloric acid mixture (see 5.7) [when the test portion is 2.0 g, add 15 mL of phosphoric-perchloric acid mixture (see 5.7); when the test portion with high tungsten content is dissolved with 15 mL of phosphoric-perchloric acid mixture (see 5.7), no need to add any more], heat and evaporate until perchloric acid smoke 2 min to 5 min (the test portion with high chromium content needs to oxidized chromium), slightly cold, add water to dissolve salts. If necessary, filter to eliminate graphite carbon and wash with hot perchloric acid (see 5.6). — When the manganese content is less than 2.00%, add 10 mL of sulfuric acid (see 5.5) and dilute it with water to about 40 mL. — When the manganese content is greater than 2.00%, add 10 mL of sulfuric acid (see 5.5), dilute with water to about 40 mL, cool to room temperature. Transfer the solution to a 100 mL volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with water and mix. Transfer 50.0 mL of the solution to a 150 mL conical flask and add 5 mL of sulfuric acid (see 5.5). 8.2.2 Chromogenic solution Add 10 mL of sodium (potassium) poliodate solution (see 5.8) to the test solution prepared in 8.2.1, heat it to the boil and maintain it for 2 min to 3 min (to prevent spillage of test solution), cool it to room temperature; transfer the solution to a 100 mL volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with water free from reducing matter (see 5.11) and mix. 8.2.3 Preparation of reference solution Transfer about 25 mL of chromogenic solution (see 8.2.2) to a 100 mL conical flask, and add sodium nitrite solution (see 5.9) while shaking until the purplish color is just faded (see note). Use this solution as reference solution. Note: When the test portion with cobalt is faded with sodium nitrite solution, the reddish color of cobalt will not fade, which can be treated in the following ways: keep shaking the volumetric flask and slowly add sodium nitrite solution (see 5.9); if the sample has no change in reddish color, place the solution in the absorption dish and measure its absorbance; add sodium nitrite solution to the remaining test solution (see 5.9) and measure the absorbance again until there is no change in absorbance for two times.
