What is BS 1728-23 – Aluminium and aluminium alloys about?
BS 1728-23 is a British standard that is a part of the BS 1728 series that discusses the copper (atomic absorption method) for the analysis of aluminium and aluminium alloys. Aluminium alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where light weight or corrosion resistance is required.
Who is BS 1728-23 – Aluminium and aluminium alloys for?
BS 1728-23 on aluminium alloys applies to:
- Manufacturer of aluminium products
- Aerospace manufacturer
- Quality testing personnel
- Design engineers
Why should you use BS 1728-23 – Aluminium and aluminium alloys?
Aluminium alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where light weight or corrosion resistance is required. Alloys composed mostly of aluminium have been very important in aerospace manufacturing since the introduction of metal-skinned aircraft.
BS 1728-23 specifies the principle in which the sample is dissolved in hydrochloric acid and diluted to a suitable volume and the copper content is determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. This method helps you in analysing and manufacturing the aluminium alloys in a standardized manner.
BS 1728-23 provides you with comprehensive guidance useful throughout the process of analysis of aluminium and aluminium alloys.
