The invention relates to the technical field of
metal iron detection, in particular to a method for determining the
iron content in a
titanium alloy. The method can conveniently detect the
iron content, is low in cost, and comprises the following steps of (1) weighing 0.1 g of sample, putting into a 100mL steel dual-purpose
bottle, adding 10mL of
sulfuric acid, heating with soft fire until the sample is completely dissolved, cooling, adding 10mL of
boric acid, diluting with water to a scale, and shaking up; (2) taking six 100mL volumetric flasks, respectively adding 10mL of the sample solution, then sequentially and accurately adding an iron calibration solution, respectively adding 30mL of water, 10mL of a
hydroxylamine hydrochloride solution, 5mL of an
ammonium citrate solution, 25mL ofan
ammonium acetate solution and 1, 10-diazaphenanthrene, adding water to dilute to a scale, shaking up every time when one solution is added, and standing for 20-30 minutes for color development; (3)taking water as a reference, and measuring the
absorbance at the
wavelength of 500 nm by using a 1cm
cuvette; and (4) drawing a straight line of a test value by taking the
absorbance as a
vertical coordinate and the added pure iron standard quantity as a horizontal coordinate, then extending the straight line to cross the horizontal coordinate at a point X, solving the length of the X and an original point O, and calculating according to a formula.
