Summary

Machine-generated summary

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) is purchasing foils and wires made of two aluminium-cobalt alloys, one containing 0.1 % cobalt and the other 1 % cobalt (mass/mass). The materials must be produced from high-purity aluminium and high-purity cobalt supplied by the JRC. They will serve as the basis for certified reference materials used as flux monitors in nuclear reactors, typically in 1-5 mg portions. Key requirements are homogeneity at the 1 mg level, with a standard deviation of cobalt mass fractions in 1 mg portions ideally below 1 %, and avoidance of contamination by other metals, especially Cu, Fe, Ni and Mn, with Ni, Cu and Fe ideally below 2 mg/kg. The call is also open to candidates in GPA countries.

Description

The JRC wants to purchase foils and wires of two Al-Co alloys with different composition. One alloy should be Al - 0.1 % Co, the other Al - 1 % Co (both m/m). They will be made from high-purity Al and high-purity Co, both provided by the JRC. The materials will be used as a basis for certified reference materials (CRMs) that serve as flux monitors in nuclear reactors. Typical users use 1-5 mg per use. To fulfil their role, it is important that • the material is homogeneous ideally on a 1 mg level, meaning that the standard deviation of mass fractions of Co in various 1-mg portions is ideally below 1 %; • the material is not contaminated by other metals during processing. Especially contamination by Cu, Fe, Ni and Mn should be avoided and ideally, the final mass fractions of Ni, Cu and Fe should be below 2 mg/kg This call is also open to candidates located in a country which is part of the" Government Procurement Agreement" (GPA) .
