ASTM E3061

Analysis of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (Performance Based)

Applicability: ASTM E3061 is a performance-based test method utilizing Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) to determine the exact elemental composition of aluminum and its alloys. It is primarily used to verify that materials meet registered composition limits set by The Aluminum Association.

Purpose: The purpose of ASTM E3061 is to validate compatibility with established alloy composition grades (e.g., strength, hardness, and durability specifications).
