Determining whether reworked magnesium oxide meets standards requires triple verification of chemical composition, physical structure, and electrical properties. The core approach is to base it on the HG/T 3928-2012 standard, combined with third-party CNAS testing and on-site testing for a comprehensive assessment.
1. Chemical Composition Testing (Authoritative Judgment Basis) Samples must be sent to a CNAS-certified institution for chemical analysis. The testing items and qualification standards are as follows:
Testing Item Qualification Standard Testing Method
MgO Content ≥ 95% Acid-Base Titration
Active Magnesium Oxide ≥ 60% Hydration Method
Hydrochloric Acid Insoluble Matter ≤ 0.5% Filtration and Weighing Method
Cl⁻ ≤ 0.02% Silver Nitrate Titration Method
SO₄²⁻ ≤ 0.1% Barium Sulfate Turbidity Method
Loss on Ignition ≤ 5% 950℃ Constant Weight Method
Recommended Institutions: Zhongxi Testing, Wuhan Kehai Inspection Co., Ltd. Reports must bear the CMA/CNAS mark and have legal validity.
2. Physical and Structural Verification (Critical to Process Control)
Item Acceptance Criteria Verification Method
Filling Density 2.8–3.2 g/cm³ Actual measurement after vibration and compaction
Grain Recrystallization Grain growth, clear boundaries, dense structure Metallographic Analysis (Gold Standard)
Internal Structural Integrity No voids, off-center cores, or uneven density X-ray inspection (resolution ≥5μm)
Metallographic analysis is the core method for determining whether sintering is truly achieved, directly reflecting the internal state of the material.
3. Electrical and Sealing Performance Testing (Operational Reliability Assurance)

Test Item |
Acceptance Standard |
Test Condition |
|
Cold Insulation Resistance |
≥ 500 MΩ |
500V DC, RH≤30% |
|
Hot Insulation Resistance |
≥ 200 MΩ |
Measured within 2 seconds of power failure after 30 minutes of operation |
|
Withstand Voltage Performance |
AC 2000V, no breakdown after 1 minute |
Normal environment |
|
Air Tightness |
No leakage after 30 minutes of 0.3MPa pressure testing |
Underwater pressure test |
Hot testing is crucial, as it can identify hidden defects such as "passing cold but failing hot."
Comprehensive Judgment Process
First, perform X-ray and density screening → exclude structural anomalies;
Then, perform metallographic analysis → confirm grain recrystallization;
Finally, send for chemical composition testing + complete electrical testing → form a closed-loop verification.
It is recommended to sample at least 3 pieces from each batch, establish a unique coded file, and achieve full lifecycle traceability.
