Metallic powders - Determination of acid-insoluble content in iron, copper, tin and bronze powders (ISO 4496:2017)
ISO 4496:2017 specifies methods for determining, in iron, copper, tin and bronze powders, the approximate content of non-metallic materials which are insoluble in the ordinary mineral acids.
The insoluble matter referred to is generally considered to be acid-insoluble silica and silicates, carbides, alumina, clays or other refractory oxides which are either present in the raw material from which the powders are manufactured or introduced during the manufacturing process.

Dieses Dokument legt Verfahren zur Bestimmung des genäherten Gehaltes an nicht-metallischen Bestandteilen in Eisen-, Kupfer-, Zinn- und Bronzepulvern fest, die in den üblichen Mineralsäuren nicht löslich sind.
Zu unlöslichen Bestandteilen, die hier behandelt werden, rechnet man allgemein säureunlösliche Kieselerde und Silikate, Karbide, Tonerde, Ton und andere stabile Oxide, die entweder im Ausgangsstoff, aus dem die Pulver hergestellt werden, bereits vorhanden sind oder während des Herstellungsprozesses eingebracht werden.
Poudres métalliques - Détermination de la teneur en insolubles dans les acides pour les poudres de fer, de cuivre, d'étain et de bronze (ISO 4496:2017)
ISO 4496:2017 spécifie des méthodes pour déterminer, dans les poudres de fer, de cuivre, d'étain et de bronze, la teneur approximative en éléments non métalliques qui sont insolubles dans les acides minéraux courants.
Par éléments insolubles, on entend généralement des composés tels que la silice et les silicates, les carbures, l'alumine, les argiles ou autres oxydes réfractaires qui peuvent être soit présents dans le matériau avec lequel on fabrique les poudres, soit introduits en cours de fabrication.

Overview
EN ISO 4496:2017 (ISO 4496:2017) defines laboratory methods to determine the acid‑insoluble content in metallic powders - specifically iron, copper, tin and bronze powders. The standard is intended for lubricant‑free powder metallurgy materials and quantifies non‑metallic, acid‑resistant impurities (for example silica, silicates, carbides, alumina, clays and other refractory oxides) either originating from raw materials or introduced during manufacture.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Field of application: lubricant‑free iron, copper, tin, bronze and copper‑tin (bronze) powders.
- Sampling and test portions: analysis on two test portions; typical test portion mass ≈ 5 g.
- Equipment and accuracy: laboratory balance with accuracy ±0.0001 g, glass filtering funnel, ashless filter paper (residual ash < 0.01 %), fused silica/porcelain crucibles and a furnace capable of 900 °C–1 000 °C.
- Reagents: use analytical‑grade reagents and distilled water. Typical reagents include hydrochloric and nitric acids, hydrogen peroxide, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, sodium sulfide, ammonium acetate and others specified for detecting or removing soluble metal salts.
- Procedure highlights:
- Dissolution of the metal powder in mineral acids with controlled heating and washing steps.
- Filtration of insoluble residue, drying/ashing of the filter and residue in a pre‑weighed crucible.
- Final drying/ashing in furnace to constant mass, then weighing to compute acid‑insoluble fraction.
- For iron powders, an optional nitric acid step can be used to exclude carbides from residue.
- Result expression: acid‑insoluble content is reported as percentage by mass (residue mass related to original test portion). The standard specifies how to calculate results and basic precision/replicate requirements.
Applications and users
EN ISO 4496:2017 is used by:
- Quality control and testing laboratories in powder metallurgy and metal‑powder production.
- Suppliers and manufacturers of metal powders for sintering, pressing and additive manufacturing feedstock who need to monitor non‑metallic contamination.
- Metallurgists and process engineers tracking raw material purity, contamination sources, or process cleanliness.
- Research and development teams studying powder chemistry, filtration, or pre‑treatment processes.
Practical benefits include standardized, comparable data for supplier qualification, incoming inspection, process troubleshooting and specification compliance.
Related standards
- Adopted by CEN as EN ISO 4496:2017 (supersedes EN ISO 24496:1993).
- Developed by ISO/TC 119 (Powder metallurgy).
