FAQs
1. What is the significance of the Puratronic™ grade in this Aluminum Silicon slug?
The Puratronic™ grade signifies an ultra-high purity level of 99.999% (metals basis), ensuring minimal trace impurities that could interfere with experimental accuracy or material properties.
2. Can this slug be used in high-temperature applications?
Yes, the Aluminum Silicon slug is suitable for high-temperature applications due to its stable composition and high melting point, though specific temperature limits depend on your experimental setup.
3. How should this material be stored to maintain its purity?
Store the slug in a clean, dry environment, preferably in its original packaging or an airtight container, to prevent oxidation or contamination from moisture or airborne particles.
4. Is this slug compatible with standard lab equipment for material analysis?
Yes, the uniform dimensions (6.35mm diameter x 12.7mm length) make it compatible with most standard lab equipment, including spectrometers, furnaces, and analytical balances.
5. Are there alternatives to this slug for lower-purity requirements?
For applications where 99.999% purity is not critical, lower-grade Aluminum Silicon alloys or standard-grade slugs may be suitable, though they may introduce more variability in results.
