EN 15079:2015 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a routine method for the analysis of copper and copper alloys by spark optical emission spectrometry (S-OES). The method is applicable to all elements except copper commonly present in copper and copper alloys as impurities or minor or main constituents, which can be determined by S-OES. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 1811-1, Copper and copper alloys — Selection and preparation of samples for chemical analysis — Part 1: Sampling of cast unwrought products ISO 1811-2, Copper and copper alloys — Selection and preparation of samples for chemical analysis — Part 2: Sampling of wrought products and castings 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 reference material RM material, sufficiently homogeneous and stable with respect to one or more specified properties which has been established to be fit for its intended use in a measurement process [SOURCE: ISO GUIDE 30:1992/Amd.1:2008, definition 2.1] 3.2 certified reference material CRM reference material characterized by a metrologically valid procedure for one or more specified properties, ac-companied by a certificate, that provides the value of the specified property, its associated uncertainty, and a statement of metrological traceability [SOURCE: ISO GUIDE 30:1992/Amd.1:2008, definition 2.2] 3.3 test sample representative quantity of material for testing purposes 3.4 drift control samples series of homogeneous materials that contain all the elements which have been calibrated and that cover the low, mid and high points of the calibration range for each element, used to detect variations over time in these points Note 1 to entry: Drift control samples can also be used for statistical process control (SPC) of the instrument.

5 3.5 recalibration samples samples at both low and high points of the calibration ranges used to recalibrate the spectrometer Note 1 to entry: These samples are measured during the calibration procedure and the intensities obtained are stored in the computer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Note 2 to entry: No chemical analyses are necessary, but the homogeneity of these samples should be carefully eval-uated. 3.6 quality control sample sample with known composition which is analysed in the same way as the test sample to check the trueness of the analytical results 4 Principle Measurement of the intensity of the radiation, whose wavelength is characteristic of each element, generated by a spark resulting from the application of an electrical discharge between the sample, as one electrode, and an inert counter-electrode. Concentrations of elements are determined by relating the measured intensities of test samples to calibration curves prepared from reference materials. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Optical emission spectrometer Spectrometer with spark source capable of measuring the intensities of the optical radiation emitted at specific wavelengths by the elements present in the material. The wavelengths generally used are given in Annex A. 5.2 Apparatus for sample surface preparation The most common surface preparation techniques for copper and copper alloys are turning and milling or grinding for copper, provided that the composition of the surface shall not be influenced. The lathe, milling machine or any other machines used for surface preparation shall be able to produce a surface that conforms to the requirements of 7.1. WARNING — The appropriate safety recommendations for the use of mechanical apparatus shall be observed. These operations shall be carried out only by properly trained personnel wearing appropriate personal protective equipment. 6 Sampling Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with ISO 1811-1 or ISO 1811-2, as appropriate. The sample needs to be sufficiently homogeneous with regard to the spark impact. The measuring surface should be free of defects. SIST EN 15079:2015



EN 15079:2015 (E) 6 7 Procedure 7.1 Surface preparation 7.1.1 The surface of the sample shall be prepared to a finish that is sufficiently flat and smooth in order to tighten the sample chamber, and shall be reasonably free from contaminants, pores, cracks, inclusions and shrinkage cavities which might otherwise affect analytical results. In order to avoid variation of results due to the influence of surface finish, the same method of preparation shall be used for all samples. To avoid cross-contamination between different sample materials, for example pure copper and copper alloys, all relevant components of the machine shall be thoroughly cleaned before use or separate tools shall be used. Once the surface has been prepared, avoid any contamination, for example fingerprints. Measurements shall be carried out soon after surface preparation. Samples should be stored, until the time of later measurement, in a desiccator. 7.1.2 The turning, milling or grinding shall be carried out at a suitable speed to avoid undue heating of the sample surface, which might otherwise lead to bias in analysis. Any lubricants (e.g. propanol) used shall be selected to ensure that they do not affect the analytical result. 7.2 Calibration procedures 7.2.1 General 7.2.1.1 Calibration process The calibration process is subdivided into calibration and drift compensation by recalibration. 7.2.1.2 Range of calibration The range of calibration for an element shall extend well below the minimum content reported in the list of alloys composition and above the maximum content reported in the same list, taking into account that the lowest limit should be at least three times the detection limit. 7.2.1.3 Number of sparks on calibration samples The number of sparks carried out on each reference material for calibration shall be not less than four. The spark areas shall be distributed over the prepared surface. Centre and border of the sample have to be avoided. All measurements shall be examined; if any measurement is obviously defective, further sparks shall be carried out to obtain the minimum four acceptable measurements. The average of the four acceptable measurements is used for calibration. The influence of temperature is very important for direct measurement methods. The sample should be cooled to ambient temperature between each spark. SIST EN 15079:2015



EN 15079:2015 (E)
7 7.2.2 Calibration The calibration of the spectrometer is carried out by using a series of certified reference materials which have the same or at least similar matrix and metallurgical structure as the samples to be analysed, in order to calculate the calibration functions from which the analysis of test samples can be obtained. The content range of the certified reference materials used shall cover that of all the samples to be analysed within each specific analytical program. For each element in ea
