The role of analytical chemistry in the ferrous metal industry
Abstract In the ferrous metal industry analytical chemistry has always played a special role because of the economic importance of this industry. Nowadays, high speed analytical systems for the determination of multicomponent mixtures such as iron based alloys, ores or slags raise new problems. Therefore, this paper deals with the requirements of raw material analysis, process control methods, product analysis, and special analytical procedures or topological tests. It is divided into two parts: the state of development and unsolved problems.
