Product Overview
This Puratronic™ aluminum rod delivers exceptional 99.999% purity (metals basis), making it the gold standard for applications demanding ultra-low impurity levels. The 9.5mm (0.37in) diameter provides structural integrity while maintaining precise dimensional tolerances. Engineered using advanced purification techniques, this rod eliminates trace contaminants that could compromise experimental accuracy. Its uniform composition ensures consistent performance across thermal, electrical, and mechanical applications. The Puratronic™ grade exceeds standard aluminum purity levels, offering researchers a reliable material for creating high-performance components. Available in multiple lengths (4x25cm, 25cm, 5cm), this rod accommodates diverse experimental setups without requiring additional machining. The material’s inherent corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity remain unaltered by the purification process, preserving aluminum’s fundamental properties while achieving near-perfect purity.
FAQs
1. What makes Puratronic™ aluminum different from standard aluminum?
Puratronic™ aluminum undergoes specialized refining to achieve 99.999% purity, removing virtually all metallic and non-metallic impurities that standard grades contain.
2. Can this rod be used for electrical conductivity experiments?
The ultra-high purity enhances electrical conductivity by minimizing impurity scattering, making it suitable for precise conductivity measurements.
3. How should I store these aluminum rods to maintain purity?
Store in a clean, dry environment with controlled humidity, preferably in sealed containers to prevent surface oxidation or contamination.
4. What cutting methods work best for this high-purity aluminum?
Use diamond-coated or carbide tools with proper cooling to prevent contamination during machining, avoiding standard steel blades that may introduce impurities.
5. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for general lab use?
Standard 99.5% or 99.7% aluminum rods are available for applications where extreme purity isn’t required, offering cost-effective alternatives.
