ASTM E1251-17a is an international standard for analyzing aluminum and its alloys using spark-atomic emission spectrometry (Spark-AES), widely applied in the automotive and aerospace industries for quality control. It covers the analysis of alloying elements in various forms, such as castings and extrusions, and has since been superseded by the ASTM E1251-24 edition.
