Overview

EN 14936-2:2006 - "Copper and copper alloys - Determination of aluminium content - Part 2: FAAS method" is a CEN standard that specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric (FAAS) procedure for measuring aluminium in copper and copper alloys (unwrought, wrought and cast). The method applies to aluminium mass fractions from 0.010 % to 2.5 % and describes sample dissolution, instrument setup, calibration and result calculation for reliable aluminium determination.

Keywords: EN 14936-2:2006, FAAS method, aluminium determination, copper alloys, atomic absorption spectrometry.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Principle: Dissolve a 1 g test portion in aqua regia (hydrochloric + nitric acids), dilute appropriately and aspirate into a nitrous oxide/acetylene flame. Measure absorption at the aluminium line (309.3 nm) using an aluminium hollow‑cathode lamp.
  • Scope & range: Applicable to unwrought, wrought and cast copper alloys with Al between 0.010 % and 2.5 %.
  • Sampling: Follow ISO 1811‑1 / ISO 1811‑2. Test samples should be fine drillings, chips or millings (max thickness 0.5 mm).
  • Reagents & matrix matching: Use analytical grade acids and distilled water. Prepare aluminium standard solutions and copper base solutions to match copper, chloride and nitrate matrix in calibration standards (matrix-matching compensates for chemical interferences).
  • Calibration: Establish a calibration curve using multiple standards covering the expected aluminium range. The standard allows direct calibration or a bracketing method (±10 % around estimated concentration).
  • Procedure controls: Perform blank tests, duplicate independent analyses, and a check test with a certified or synthetic reference material.
  • Expression of results: Results are calculated from measured concentration, test portion mass and final solution volume using the formulas defined in the standard.
  • Precision & validation: Interlaboratory validation (three labs) is summarized; precision conforms to ISO 5725 principles for repeatability and reproducibility.
  • Reporting: Test report must identify sample, method, results, deviations, dates and responsible signature.

Applications and users

  • Quality control and composition verification in metallurgy, copper alloy production, foundries and wire/rod manufacturers.
  • Laboratories performing chemical analysis of copper materials for specification compliance, failure analysis or R&D.
  • Procurement and inspection teams needing certified aluminium content data for alloy classification and process control.

Related standards

  • EN 14936-1: Part 1 - Titrimetric method for aluminium (complements FAAS method)
  • ISO 1811‑1 / ISO 1811‑2 - Sampling for cast and wrought copper products
  • ISO 5725 series - Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods

EN 14936-2:2006 provides a practical FAAS workflow for accurate aluminium determination in copper alloys, emphasizing matrix-matched calibration, validated precision and standardized reporting for routine lab use.
