Abstract
In the solid Fe-C alloys, the metallurgically induced oxygen is present in the form of oxides. In desoxidation and inoculation processes, oxygen may be combined to Fe, Mn, Si, Al, Ca, Mg and so on. In most cases in metallurgy and melt technology and the assessment of faults, knowledge of oxygen in the combined form tells more than that of the total oxygen content. Therefore we have tried developing a procedure for determination of oxides in Fe-C alloys. In order to yield at a rapid method, we decided to use the carrier gas process with argon, followed by infrared analyses. In this process oxides are heated in the presence of carbon and reduced to carbonmonoxid.
