Full title and description

ISO 5454:1980 — Ferrotitanium — Specification and conditions of delivery. International standard that defines ferrotitanium intended for steelmaking and foundry use and specifies requirements for definition, ordering information, chemical and physical requirements, sampling and testing, marking, packing, despatch and storage.

Abstract

This standard applies to ferrotitanium supplied for metallurgical use. It sets out product designation and ordering rules, compositional and impurity limits (as agreed between supplier and purchaser), particle size / grain‑size classes and physical form, sampling and test requirements, certificate of analysis, packing and marking, and conditions for transport and storage to ensure consistent quality and traceability of deliveries.

General information

• Status: Published (International Standard; confirmed and current as reviewed).
• Publication date: December 1980 (Edition 1, 1980).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 77.100 — Ferroalloys.
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (1980).
• Number of pages: 3.

Scope

Specifies the specification and conditions of delivery for ferrotitanium normally used as a deoxidizer, desulfurizer and alloying addition in steelmaking and for foundry applications. The standard covers definitions and product designations, information to be given when ordering, rules for consignment and lot constitution, compositional and impurity requirements (or reference to agreement between supplier and purchaser), sampling and test methods for verification, packing, marking, despatch and storage conditions.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and product designations for ferrotitanium grades (typical ranges and variants to be specified between supplier and purchaser).
• Ordering information: required data (grade/designation, particle size class, lot constitution, quantity, delivery terms, testing/inspection requirements).
• Chemical composition and impurity limits: principal element and agreed limits for Si, C, P, S, Mn and other impurities; provisions for aluminium additions where applicable.
• Particle size / grain‑size classes and physical form (lumps, crushed/screened material) with sieve‑based classification.
• Consignment and lot constitution rules (tapped lot, grouped lots, blended lots) and acceptable variation between melts unless otherwise agreed.
• Sampling, sample preparation and testing requirements to ensure representative analysis and certificate of analysis accompanying deliveries.
• Packing, marking, transport and storage requirements to prevent contamination, degradation and to ensure traceability of consignments.
• Procedures for dealing with non‑conforming results (re‑analysis, arbitration and dispute resolution clauses).

Typical use and users

Used by steelworks and foundries specifying ferrotitanium for melt additions, ferroalloy producers and traders preparing material and certificates of analysis, procurement and quality‑assurance teams verifying compliance, metallurgical laboratories performing analysis, and logistics/warehouse managers responsible for packing and storage of ferroalloys.

Related standards

Standards commonly referenced alongside ISO 5454 include sampling and sample‑preparation standards and analytical methods for ferroalloys, and other ISO specifications for ferroalloys (work by ISO/TC 132). Typical related documents cover sampling/sample preparation, sieve analysis and analytical determination of titanium content in ferrotitanium, plus product delivery standards for other ferroalloys.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers product definition and designation, ordering information, compositional and impurity requirements (or agreement between supplier and purchaser), particle size classes and physical form, sampling and testing procedures, marking, packing, despatch and storage conditions, and procedures for handling non‑conformities.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Ferroalloy producers and suppliers, steelmakers and foundries, procurement and QA/QC staff, analytical laboratories, and logistics/warehouse managers involved with ferrotitanium.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 1980 edition is the published edition; it has been subject to periodic review and has been maintained/confirmed in ISO records. Users should check national or ISO catalogs for any later revisions or replacement projects if they require the very latest status.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: ISO 5454 is part of ISO/TC 132 work on ferroalloys and sits alongside other ISO specifications and related sampling and test standards for ferroalloys (sampling/sample‑preparation and specific analytical methods for titanium and other elements).
