New copper based certified reference materials (CRMs) for grades CDA 172 and CDA 642 are now available from ARMI-MBH. These two CRMs were produced under our ISO 17034 accreditation for reference material production and fulfill the requirements for laboratories operating under ISO 17025.
CDA 172 (UNS C17200) is a beryllium copper known for its high strength and hardness. It contains approximately 1.8-2.0% Be as well as 0.2% Al and Co with Cu as the remainder. The alloys good electrical conductivity along with its mechanical properties make it useful in a multitude of applications including, electrical connectors and precision machined parts.
The ARMI-MBH certified reference material for CDA 172 is IARM-Cu-172-18. It is available as a general disc 38mm x 19mm for use in optical emission spectrometers (OE), as a 38mm x 3mm disc for XRF and LIBS applications and as chips for ICP analysis.
CDA 642 (UNS C64200) is a silicon aluminum bronze with high strength and corrosion resistance. This alloy is used for a number of applications including precision parts like vales and value stems especially in marine environments where its corrosion resistance is beneficial. This alloy contains 6.3- 7 % Al and 1.5 - 1.8% Si as well as smaller amounts of Pb, Fe, Sn, Zn, Ni and As with Cu as the balance.
The ARMI-MBH certified reference material for CDA 642 is IARM-Cu-642-18. Like all of our products it is available in forms appropriate for XRF, LIBS, OE and ICP analytical methods.
