- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for GRCop-84 ALLOY POWDER. Specifications for GRCop-84 (Cu-8 at weight percent, Cr-4 at weight percent, Nb or Cu-8 Cr-4 Nb) Powders. 1.The powder shall be made by argon gas atomization. Atomization in nitrogen is not an acceptable alternative. 2.The powder shall be handled in an inert gas or vacuum environment at all times to avoid oxygen contamination. Powder shall be delivered to the Government in double sealed aluminum cans or other air-tight containers under an argon or helium cover gas. Prior to filling the containers, the containers shall be cleaned and degreased to ensure no contamination occurs. 3.The melt charge is to consist of high purity elemental charges or master melts. For an elemental charge, the charge shall consist of OFHC copper Grade No. 101 (ASTM B 170 Grade 1, 99.99% min. Cu), 99.8 percent minimum purity chromium and 99.5 percent minimum purity niobium or equivalent purity materials.The iron content in the chromium is to be analyzed and minimized to meet the Fe specification and aim. 4.The chemistry of the GRCop-84 powder shall be: Chromium:Aim 6.65 weight percent Desired Range 6.52 to 6.80 weight percent Allowed Range - 6.2 to 6.8 weight percent Niobium:Aim - 5.85 weight percent Desired Range 5.81 to 6.00 weight percent Allowed Range - 5.4 to 6.0 weight percent Cr:Nb ratio:Aim - 2.03 Cr:Nb ratio by atomic percent / 1.14 Cr:Nb ratio by weight percent Desired Range 2.01 to 2.05 Cr:Nb by atomic percent / 1.12 to 1.15 Cr:Nb ratio by weight percent Allowed Range - 1.95 to 2.15 Cr:Nb by atomic percent / 1.08 to 1.21 Cr:Nb ratio by weight percent Oxygen: Aim - less than 400 ppm by weight Maximum - 700 ppm by weight Powder over 700 ppm oxygen by weight shall be rejected. Iron:Aim less than 20 ppm by weight Maximum 50 ppm by weight Powder over 250 ppm iron by weight shall be rejected 5.Powder shall be sieved to -325 mesh (<45 m) ASTM Standard Mesh Size. Total amount of delivered -325 mesh powder will be 1400 lbs. 6.Powder from more than one production lot may be mixed to obtain the total amount of powder required. However, prior to mixing, the chemistry of each lot must be obtained, and it must fall within the limits of Specification 4. Any powder lot not meeting the chemistry requirement shall be rejected. Mixing shall be done in an inert atmosphere or vacuum. 7.Contractor shall provide a powder size analysis and chemistry of the powder. The chemistry shall consist of (at a minimum) Cu, Cr, Nb, Fe and O. The contractor is to test for Fe and O contamination prior to mixing powder from more than one atomization run. Powders from multiple runs are to be mixed as best possible while retaining an inert atmosphere prior to canning to provide better uniformity. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2005-78. OBTAINED FROM http://nais.nasa.gov/far/.
