A titrimetric method for the rapid determination of carbon in steel with an aqueous titrant.
It is demonstrated that the addition of 5% of water to the non-aqueous solvent for the titrimetric determination of carbon in steel improves the performance of the titration. Modifications to the procedure are proposed which allow the normal titrant, tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide dissolved in benzene-methanol, to be replaced by an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide. The proposed procedure has been applied to the analysis of a wide range of standard steel samples.
