ASTM C1605 WDXRF Spectrometry for Chemical Analysis of Ceramic Materials
ASTM C1605 is used for compositional analysis with high sensitivity and accuracy for all the elements in the periodic table heavier than lithium. It determines the chemistry, layers of coatings, film thickness, and elemental composition per unit area by measuring the wavelength of the radiation emitted by the elements in the given whiteware or ceramic sample.
Scope:
Elemental analysis by ASTM C1605 is very sensitive; it can detect trace elements and provide efficient spatial resolution. Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometers allow less spectral overlaps and high resolution for lighter elements. The method does not affect the composition of the whitewares and other ceramics.
Test Procedure:
ASTM C1605 involves using lithium tetraborate flux to melt the given whiteware ceramic sample to produce glass beads. Regression curves of the given sample are set using the WDXRF spectrometer encompassing a wide range of concentrations down to ppm. Three powerful instruments are used; an X-ray tube, a monochrome, or analyzing crystal and a detector. All the elements in the given sample are excited by using an X-ray tube, and a monochromator diffracts the radiations emanating from the samples into different directions. The intensity of the X-rays of various wavelengths can be determined by adjusting the detector at a specific angle. Using a program, all the elements detected can be studied.
Specimen Size :
In ASTM C1605 testing, the sample thickness, sample diameter, and sample mass are monitored, and the values are roughly 50 mm, 400 mm, and 30 kg, respectively. The values may vary depending upon the type of spectrometer.
Data:
In ASTM C1605, elemental sensitivity can be measured down to ppm, and the film thickness of the material can be measured up to mm.Peak resolution is measured in eV.
Conclusion:
ASTM C1605 is used for compositional analysis with high sensitivity and accuracy for all the elements in the periodic table heavier than lithium.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
