A new ASTM International specification will help standardize production and use of bimetallic “busbar” (copper-clad aluminum flat-strip and flat-wire that distributes high-current power). A copper-clad aluminum electrical conductor is a cost-effective alternative to pure copper or aluminum conductors. “The need for this standard is global.” said Dustin Fox, the chairman of the committee on…, Committee on Electrical Conductors (B01) Next Meeting:, Oct. 11-12, New Orleans, La., Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Liang Yuncheng, Yantai Fisend Bimetal Co., Yantai City, Shangdong Province, China, tel +86.186.605.51330; brianlrc@fisend.com, Staff Contact:, Kristy Straiton, tel +1.610.832.9640; kstraiton@astm.org R elease #10320

A new ASTM International standard provides a method for analyzing the composition of aluminum and aluminum alloys. The test helps manufacturers, consumers, and laboratories verify that an alloy’s composition is within the needed limits through an analysis method called “inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry” (ICP-AES). “The composition of an aluminum alloy is one factor that…, ASTM Committee E01 on Analytical Chemistry for Metals, Ores, and Related Materials Next Meeting:, May 7-9, 2017, May Committee Week, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Jeneé Jacobs, Arconic, New Kensington, Pa., tel +1.724.337.2490; jenee.jacobs@arconic.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Thomas O’Toole, tel +1.610.832.9739; totoole@astm.org R elease #10283

Overhead conductors used to transmit electricity typically consist of stranded aluminum wires that surround a stranded steel wire core. However, a more recently developed conductor consists of composite materials of carbon and glass fibers that replace the stranded steel-supporting member. This new type of conductor will be covered in a new ASTM International standard, ASTM B987 , Specification…, ASTM Committee B01 Next Meeting:, April 29, 2015, April Committee Week, Anaheim, Calif., Technical Contact:, Eric Bosze, Ph.D., CTC Global, Irvine, Calif., Phone: +1.949.381.7262; ebosze@ctcglobal.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Kristy Straiton, Phone: +1.610.832.9640; kstraiton@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: +1.610.832.9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9694
