EN 725-4:20065 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of oxygen contents of 2 % or less in aluminium nitride powder, by XRF analysis. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.

21、 For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 725-5, Advanced technical ceramics Methods of test for ceramic powders Part 5: Determination of particle size distribution EN ISO/IEC 17

22、025, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025:2005) EN ISO 18757, Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) Determination of specific surface area of ceramic powders by gas adsorption using the BET method (ISO 18757:2003) 3 P

23、rinciple The sample is compacted to obtain a pellet, and the net intensity of the oxygen Kcharacteristic (I0K) of the pellet is measured by XRF spectrometer. The net intensity is the background intensity subtracted from the peak intensity at the peak position. The oxygen content in the sample is det

24、ermined from this net intensity and by reference to previously defined calibration graphs; the calibration graph expresses the direct relation between net intensity and oxygen concentration. Calibration standards are prepared from different mixtures of fine aluminium nitride powder and a fine alumin

25、a powder. 4 Apparatus and experimental conditions 4.1 Apparatus Sequential X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, equipped with a multilayer pseudo crystal and a gas flow proportional counter. NOTE For further details, see EN ISO 12677. 4.2 Experimental conditions The experimental conditions depend on the

26、 apparatus, with an example of good practice being as follows: a) Mode: vacuum b) Excitation: tube voltage: 30 kV tube current: 95 mA c) Spectrometer: crystal: multilayer pseudo crystal 2 d = 55 d) Peak: wavelength: 23,62 energy: 0,525 keV angular position: 51 2 (to be adjusted) EN 725-4:20066 e) De

27、tection: detector type: gas flow proportional counter Ar-CH4or He-CO2pulse height selection: the discriminate levels (Vmin, Vmax) should be set so as: Vmin, Vmax= V 1,3 W where W is the width at half height of the pulse amplitude distribution peaking at V (this allows more than 99,7 % of the pulse a

28、mplitude distribution to pass through the window) f) Background: Background intensity at the peak position is obtained using a linear regression between two background measurements before and after the fluorescence peak wavelength: 23,62 The recommended positions (2 min, 2 max) are: 2 min, max = 2 4

29、 Wwhere 2is the peak position Wis the peak width at half height of the peak g) Counting time: 100 s for both peak and background measurements; total counting time 300 s 5 Sample preparation 5.1 Granulometry Powders shall be fine enough to obtain a good homogeneous pellet without a binder. The partic

30、le size distribution, determined in accordance with EN 725-5, shall be between 10 m and 2 m with an equivalent diameter corresponding to 50 % of the grain size. NOTE Grinding the sample may increase the oxygen content of the powder. 5.2 Test piece preparation 5.2.1 Where comparatively large (10 g) s

31、amples are available, pour the powder into a die (e.g. 40 mm in diameter) and compact it. The powder may be placed in an aluminium cup before pressing if required. 5.2.2 For smaller samples (2 g), press the powder on to a backing plate made of cellulose or boric acid powder. The aluminium cup may ag

32、ain be used if required. 5.2.3 Prepare two samples for each determination. NOTE In most quantitative analysis, sample thickness is considered as infinite. If critical thickness is the thickness that would yield 99,9 % of the maximum intensity, calculation shows that critical thickness increased from

33、 2,9 m to 3,35 m when oxygen concentration in AIN increases from 0,5 % to 10 %. 6 Calibration 6.1 Preparation of standards Prepare calibration standards from mixtures of aluminium nitride powder in accordance with 5.1 and alumina powder with a specific surface area of about 6 m2/g according to EN IS

34、O 18757 and an equivalent diameter corresponding to 50 % of the distribution, normally 1 m or less. Mix the powders for at least 10 min in an agate mortar and pestle, and vibrate the mixture for 1 min. 6.2 Calibration curves Establish curves which record the oxygen (K) net intensity with the oxygen

35、mass fraction in the different calibration mixtures. EN 725-4:20067 As aluminium nitride powders used in calibration mixtures are not oxygen free, an addition method shall be used in order to determine the total oxygen concentration. In this method, a known amount of oxygen, O, is added to the sampl

36、e. Fluorescence intensities I1and I2, before and after addition, are used to extrapolate to the unknown concentration. If linearity is assumed: 211IIIOO=The addition method is limited to fairly low concentrations, usually less than 1 %. Thereby, the use of an aluminium nitride powder with oxygen con

37、centration 1 % is recommended for calibration purposes. The shape of the calibration curve depends on the oxygen concentration range, but within a range of 0 % to 5 %, a linear regression is likely to be convenient. 6.3 Recalibration Recalibration is needed in order to check long term instrumental d

38、rift. An aluminium nitride sintered pellet with a flat polished surface can be used to shift the calibration curve. The oxygen content of this reference standard should not be lower than 3 % in order to obtain a good signal intensity level. Another solution, which is more time consuming, consists in

39、 the determination of a new calibration curve. 6.4 Sensitivity limit of detection EXAMPLE Sensitivity (S): slope of the linear part of the calibration curve expected sensitivity S = 80 cps/% (counts per second per %). Limit of detection for a confidence level of 3 (LD3) StnLD/33=where n is the backg

40、round intensity at peak position (40 cps); t is the measuring time (100 s); LD3is the oxygen content (240 10-6(240 ppm). 7 Repeatability This procedure has been applied to nine pellets of the same fine aluminium nitride powder, with the analytical results given in Table 1.
