High $S/N$, high resolution CCD spectra of 10 Am binaries with different orbital elements, rotation and atmospheric parameters obtained with the 2-m telescope of NAO Rozhen (Bulgaria) were analyzed. We carried out preliminary abundance analyses of these stars and studied the possible dependences of abundance anomalies and [Ca/Fe] on their values of effective temperature, $v\sin i$, orbital period, and eccentricity. There are weak trends of [Ca/Fe] increasing with $v\sin i$ and decreasing with eccentricity and orbital period. [Ca] seems to be increasing with effective temperature, and [Fe] decreasing with $v\sin i$ and increasing with eccentricity. However we need to study more stars to confirm and disentangle the possible trends.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
