Umicore’s business unit Jewellery and Industrial Metals provides an unrivalled wide range of precious metals products and related services to the jewellery industry and to a variety of industrial applications. Its North American production site is both ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified. The ‘Standard Specifications’ series define the standard specifications for custom orders. They correspond to the needs of the majority of the precious metals industry in North America and illustrate most of Umicore’s production capabilities. Should you, however, have a request that seems to fall outside of what is published here, then please don’t hesitate to contact us for further assistance. Umicore updates its ‘Standard Specifications’ regularly based on customer feedback, market trends and technological developments.

For each product the ‘Standard Specifications’ show:

• Product name and description

• Characteristics needed to fully define the product and a drawing illustrating the definition of those, where appropriate

• Available materials for these products

• Standard production capabilities and tolerances

• Temper

• Standard packaging

In order to speed up the processing of product inquiries and orders we encourage you to use the terminology used in the ‘Standard Specifications’ and to clearly indicate any requests that deviate from these ‘Standard Specifications’, such as tighter specifications. Throughout the ‘Standard Specification’ series all dimensions are provided in mm and temperatures in °C. Conversions to inches, feet and °F are for reference only.

Production Capabilities:

Temper: Standard temper is soft2. Other tempers are available on request.

Surface: Uniform in appearance, of typical colour for the temper and alloy ordered, and free of orange peel, foreign inclusions, oxide or tarnish, scratches greater than 0.02 mm/0.0008” and blisters. Items ordered at soft temper may not appear shiny when first received. Once polished, rolled or drawn the surface will shine up.

Plate can be supplied in one of two finishes:

• As rolled: in this case the surface roughness is less than 12 µm. The surface is smooth and reflective.

• Brushed: in this case the surface roughness is greater than 12 µm. The surface is smooth and no clear reflection is visible.

Packaging: Box or envelope depending on the size of the product. ________________________ 1 Instead of the length also the mass can be used to define the volume ordered. 2 The standard temper for plate from Ready-Stock™ is half hard.

Other dimensions and tolerances may be available on request.

• Flatness • Tolerances (if different from the ‘Standard Specifications’) • Vickers hardness or temper (see charts in appendix) • Surface finish and quality

Tolerance on width: 0.05 mm/0.002”

Other dimensions and tolerances may be available on request.

Camber: Maximum 13 mm/½” per 1830 mm/6 feet (as per ASTM Standard B41).

Flatness: At soft temper, when initially uncoiled, the strip will lie flat on a table to within 1.6 mm/0.06”.

Length: Strip is typically coiled. Cardboard reels are available on special request.

Temper: Standard temper is soft. Other tempers are available on request.

Surface: Uniform in appearance, of typical colour for the temper and alloy ordered, and free of orange peel, foreign inclusions, oxide or tarnish, scratches greater than 0.02 mm/0.0008” and blisters. Items ordered at soft temper may not appear shiny when first received. Once polished, rolled or drawn the surface will shine up.

Strip can be supplied in one of three finishes:

• As rolled: the surface roughness is less than 12 µm. The surface is smooth and reflective.

• Brushed: the surface roughness is greater than 12 µm. The surface is smooth and no clear reflection is visible.

• Mirror: the surface roughness is less than 8 µm and the reflection is sharp and well defined. Coils are often interleaved with paper to avoid scratches or mars caused by rubbing. This finish is available on request for some alloys, sizes and generally for tempers greater than ¼ hard.

Packaging: Box or envelope depending on the size of the product.

Solder Flush Strip Product Characteristics: • Material • Thickness • Width • Length4 • Camber (edgewise bow) • Flatness • Tolerances (if different from the ‘Standard Specifications’) • Vickers hardness or temper for the non solder alloy (see charts in appendix) • Surface finish and quality for the non solder alloy

Available materials: From stock: 10Y, 14Y, SSW Made to order: 14W, or any customer specified alloy Both regular and heat treatable products are available.

Production Capabilities: All solder flush sheet products are a standard 50 mm/2” width as bonded. Greater widths are available on request. A substrate of yellow gold mill product has a layer of solder metallurgically bonded to it. The standard ratio is 88% substrate to 12% solder. Both regular and heat treatable products are available. See strip page for details on dimensions, tolerance and surface finish.

Surface: As for strip. The solder side of the strip is marked at the piece or coil ends. This can help identifying the working side of this bimetal alloy in cases where the colour difference between the solder and the gold alloy is not very pronounced.

Packaging: Box or envelope depending on the size of the product.
