Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for determining the germanium and cobalt content in silver-copper alloys, belonging to the field of precious metal alloy material testing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Silver-based solders are the oldest and most widely used type of solder. Due to their suitable melting point, good conductivity, high strength and ductility, good machinability, and good corrosion resistance in various media, they are extensively used in the production of vacuum electronic devices. Silver-based solders can be classified by composition as Ag-Cu, Ag-Cu-Ni, Ag-Cu-Pd, etc. Ag-Cu eutectic (Ag-Cu28) solder is very common, accounting for over 80% of the total solder used in vacuum electronic device manufacturing. Research has found that adding certain amounts of germanium and cobalt to Ag-Cu alloys can strengthen the alloy structure, improve machinability, and enhance corrosion resistance and conductivity (Ag-Cu-Ge-Co). Rapid and accurate analysis of the germanium and cobalt content in silver-copper alloys is a powerful guarantee for fair and equitable product transactions and provides strong support for ensuring product quality. The current determination method mainly involves dissolving the sample in nitric acid, adding hydrochloric acid to generate AgCl precipitate in the silver matrix solution, filtering the AgCl precipitate, and then using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) to determine the germanium and cobalt content in the filtrate. This method is prone to causing the generated GeCl4 to volatilize (GeCl4 is highly volatile at ≥86℃), resulting in a lower germanium determination result. Furthermore, no internal standard control is used during the determination process, leading to poor stability of results for high-content germanium and cobalt. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The determination of germanium and cobalt content in silver-copper alloys faces several challenges, including the easy volatilization of GeCl4 (GeCl4's volatility is ≥86℃), leading to low germanium measurement results, lack of internal standard control during measurement, and poor stability of results for high-content germanium and cobalt alloys. This invention proposes a method for determining the germanium and cobalt content in silver-copper alloys. The method involves digesting the silver-copper alloy with dilute nitric acid, adding hydrobromic acid to precipitate AgBr in the silver matrix, boiling, and filtering the AgBr precipitate to obtain the germanium and cobalt test solution. A germanium and cobalt standard working solution is prepared using lanthanum as an internal standard. The output spectral intensity of the germanium and cobalt standard working solution is measured using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) to establish standard working curves for germanium and cobalt concentrations. Based on these standard working curves, the germanium and cobalt ion concentrations in the test solution are measured using ICP-AES, and the germanium and cobalt content in the silver-copper alloy is then calculated. This invention significantly improves the accuracy of germanium and cobalt determination results.

After cooling, the solution was diluted with deionized water to obtain lanthanum internal standard solution. (2) Add the silver-copper alloy to a dilute nitric acid solution and digest it at a temperature of 130~150℃. Cool it to room temperature to obtain the digestion solution. (3) Add hydrobromic acid to the digestion solution to generate AgBr precipitate of silver ions, and boil at 110~130℃ until the solution is clear. Separate the solid and liquid to obtain the filtrate, add lanthanum internal standard solution to the filtrate, and dilute with deionized water to obtain germanium and cobalt test solution. (4) Add commercially available nitric acid and hydrobromic acid to a volumetric flask, accurately transfer germanium-cobalt standard stock solution, and prepare germanium-cobalt standard working solutions with concentrations of 0.00, 1.00 µg / mL, 5.00 µg / mL, 10.00 µg / mL, 25.00 µg / mL, and 50.00 µg / mL, respectively. Add lanthanum internal standard solution to each germanium-cobalt standard working solution. (5) The output spectral intensities of several germanium and cobalt standard working solutions were measured using an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer, and standard working curves for germanium and cobalt concentrations were established respectively. (6) The output spectral intensity of the germanium-cobalt test solution was measured using an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer. The germanium ion concentration and cobalt ion concentration in the germanium-cobalt test solution were calculated based on the standard working curves of germanium and cobalt concentrations, respectively. Then the germanium content and cobalt content in the silver-copper alloy were calculated.

[0006] Preferably, in step (2), the concentration of the dilute nitric acid solution is 4.00~7.94mol / L, and the mass ratio of dilute nitric acid to silver-copper alloy is 20~60:1.

[0007] Preferably, in step (3), the germanium content in the germanium-cobalt test solution is 0.001~0.05 mg / mL, the cobalt content is 0.001~0.05 mg / mL, and the amount of lanthanum internal standard solution added to 100 mL of germanium-cobalt test solution is 1 mL.

[0008] Preferably, in step (4), the concentration of commercially available nitric acid is 14.4~15.2 mol / L, the concentration of hydrobromic acid is 0.12~0.37 mol / L, the amount of commercially available nitric acid added to 100 mL of germanium-cobalt standard working solution is 3~7 mL, the amount of hydrobromic acid added is 1~3 mL, and the amount of lanthanum internal standard solution added is 1 mL.

[0009] The formula for calculating the germanium or cobalt content in the silver-copper alloy in step (6) is as follows: ; Where: W% - mass fraction of germanium or cobalt content, %; C - concentration of germanium or cobalt after subtracting blank from the measured concentration, µg / mL; V - volume of germanium-cobalt test solution, mL; m - weight of silver-copper alloy, g.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) The present invention uses dilute nitric acid to digest the sample, which prevents passivation of the alloy surface and enhances the decomposition ability of the alloy sample. (2) The present invention uses hydrobromic acid to separate the silver matrix, which can solve the problem of the volatility of GeCl4 (≥86℃) and the low germanium determination result in the existing method, and further improve the accuracy of detection; (3) The present invention uses lanthanum as an internal standard to control the determination process, which solves the instability of the determination results of high-content germanium and cobalt and significantly improves the accuracy of the determination results of germanium and cobalt; (4) The present invention separates the AgBr precipitate and then uses inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry to determine the germanium and cobalt content in the filtrate. It has the characteristics of accurate results, high efficiency, strong applicability and easy mastery. Attached Figure Description
