ASTM E45 Determining the Inclusion Content of Steel
ASTM E45 covers methods for determining the content of non-metal inclusions made of forged steel. It also includes steps to perform JK type inclusion assessments using automated image analysis that is in accordance with a microscopic method. The values expressed in SI units are regarded as the standard.
Scope:
The steel inclusions are rated according to guidelines and treated with calcium-bearing compounds and rare earth additions in ASTM E45. Microscopic test methods are used to characterize inclusions that occur in solid steel due to de-oxidation or limited solubility. When such steels are examined, the test report includes the nature of the inclusions and how they were graded in each area.
Procedure
In ASTM E45, at least six areas chosen to represent as feasible are evaluated to get a meaningful estimate of the inclusion changes. It is suggested that a sufficiently large area is obtained so that measurements can be taken within the prescribed region and away from the sample’s margins.

Specimen size:
For ASTM E45, the minimum polished surface area for the microscopic determination of inclusion content is 160 mm2 (0.25 in.2).
A-Sulfide Type, B-Alumina Type, C-Silicate Type, and D-Globular Oxide Type define their shape while categories heavy and thin describe their thickness.
Result
Total inclusion contents impact the accuracy of Method A, C, and D ratings. The accuracy of such ratings reduces as the inclusion content grows.
Conclusion:
The steel inclusions are rated according to guidelines and treated with calcium-bearing compounds and rare earth additions in ASTM E45.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
