mixture during the reaction. Cool and add 0.5 g A.R. boric acid t o complex
the excess fluorides. Transfer to a 100ml volumetric flask and make up
to volume with distilled water. Standard conditions for the analysis of
aluminium alloys are shown in Table 1.
Table 2 shows results obtained by Campbell [ 31 for the determination of
silicon in aluminium alloys. In this procedure the sample was dissolved in 20%
sodium hydroxide/hydrogen peroxide. After dissolution the solution was
treated with a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids and diluted to volume.

Results obtained for four samples of BCS copper alloys are shown in
Table 5. All the results indicate good agreement with certified values. The
results obtained for copper indicate that in favourable cases it is possible to
obtain satisfactory results for major alloying components. The excellent
results which can be obtained for the analysis of large percentage amounts
of copper is further confirmed by the work of Sattur [6], whose results for
five copper-based alloys are shown in Table 6.

Welcher and Kriege [91 have described a procedure for the analysis of the
major alloying elements in nickel alloys.
Prepare the sample by dissolving 1.000 g of turnings in a mixture of 10 ml
of hydrochloric acid and 10 ml of nitric acid. Heat gently until the cessation
of nitrogen dioxide fumes. Transfer to a PTFE beaker and add 5 m l of
hydrofluoric acid dropwise. Ensure that the solution temperature does not
exceed 3OoC. Transfer the solution to a plastic 100 ml volumetric flask and
make up to volume with water.
