The Puratronic™ certification guarantees traceability and batch consistency, critical for reproducible scientific outcomes. The slug form factor provides versatility for applications requiring specific sample geometries while maintaining the material’s inherent properties.

FAQs

1. What is the significance of the 99.9995% purity level in these aluminum slugs?

The 99.9995% purity level indicates that these aluminum slugs contain only 0.0005% impurities by weight, making them suitable for applications where even trace amounts of contaminants could affect results. This ultra-high purity ensures minimal interference in sensitive analytical procedures and experimental setups.

2. How does the Puratronic™ grade differ from standard aluminum grades?

Puratronic™ is a specialized grade that undergoes additional purification processes beyond standard commercial grades. It features significantly lower levels of metallic and non-metallic impurities, with strict controls on elements like iron, copper, and silicon that are typically present in lower-grade aluminum.

3. What are the dimensional tolerances for these aluminum slugs?

These slugs are precision-manufactured to 3.175mm (0.125in) diameter and 6.35mm (0.25in) length with tight tolerances typically within ±0.025mm (0.001in) for both dimensions, ensuring consistency across batches.

4. Are these slugs compatible with standard lab equipment for sample preparation?

Yes, the standardized dimensions of these slugs make them compatible with most laboratory presses, cutting tools, and sample holders designed for metallic specimens. Their uniform shape facilitates easy handling during preparation procedures.

5. What storage conditions are recommended to maintain the purity of these aluminum slugs?

To preserve the ultra-high purity, store the slugs in their original packaging or in a clean, dry environment with controlled humidity. Avoid exposure to corrosive atmospheres or direct contact with other metals that could potentially contaminate the surface.
