Product Overview

This aluminum slug is engineered to meet the most stringent purity requirements for advanced laboratory applications. Composed of 99.999% pure aluminum (metals basis) under the Puratronic™ grade, it ensures minimal trace impurities that could interfere with sensitive experiments. The cylindrical form, with precise dimensions of 6.35mm (0.25in) diameter and 12.7mm (0.50in) length, provides consistency for reproducible results in research and testing protocols. The material’s high thermal and electrical conductivity, combined with its resistance to corrosion, makes it suitable for environments where reliability is critical. Each slug undergoes rigorous quality control to maintain uniformity in composition and physical properties, eliminating variability that could compromise experimental integrity. The Puratronic™ certification guarantees adherence to strict metallurgical standards, ensuring compatibility with high-end instrumentation and analytical techniques. Whether used in calibration, material synthesis, or as a reference standard, this aluminum slug delivers the performance demanded by modern laboratories.

FAQs

1. What is the significance of the 99.999% purity level in this aluminum slug?

The 99.999% purity indicates that the aluminum contains only 10 parts per million (ppm) of trace impurities, which is critical for applications where even minor contamination could skew results or damage sensitive equipment.

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

Puratronic™ is a specialized grade designed for ultra-high purity, with stricter controls on impurity levels compared to commercial or industrial-grade aluminum, making it ideal for laboratory use.

3. Can this slug be machined or cut for custom applications?

Yes, the aluminum slug can be machined using standard metalworking tools, but care should be taken to avoid introducing contaminants during the process.

4. What precautions should be taken when storing these aluminum slugs?

Store in a dry, inert environment to prevent oxidation or moisture absorption, and keep them sealed in their original packaging until use.

5. Is this aluminum slug compatible with vacuum chamber applications?

Due to its low outgassing properties and high purity, it is suitable for use in vacuum environments, provided proper cleaning protocols are followed.
