Visual inspection fails because these alloys often look identical—same color, same oxidation, same physical appearance. ...
The owner calculated a lost profit of roughly $8,000 from that single load and subsequently invested in a handheld alloy analyzer to prevent recurrence. Cable recycling operates on thin margins. ...
When a $2.3 million aerospace component fails catastrophic testing, investigators often trace the problem back to a single moment: the loading dock where the wrong alloy entered the facility. A batch of 316L stainless steel arrives with paperwork certifying its composition. ...
At first glance, bronze may seem simple - a metal with a warm hue, slightly darker than copper. But if you work with metal professionally - in manufacturing, restoration, scrap purchasing, foundry operations, or archaeology - you know: not all bronze is created equal. That’s why fast, accurate, and non-destructive XRF analysis (X-ray fluorescence analysis) becomes an indispensable tool. We ...
In industries where precise identification of materials and alloys is essential, portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers are invaluable. ...
Every measurement is more than just numbers — it’s confidence in your decisions. Mistakes are costly, and lost time is a missed opportunity. You need an instrument that delivers fast, precise results with no compromises. That’s exactly what the ProSpector 3 from Elvatech offers — a handheld XRF analyzer designed for professionals who value speed, accuracy, and ease of use. ...
In the aerospace industry, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. The materials used in aircraft and spacecraft must meet the highest standards, as they are exposed to extreme conditions, including high temperatures, mechanical stress, and atmospheric variations. Ensuring the quality of these materials is essential, and one of the most effective tools to achieve this is XRF (X-ray ...
Aluminum alloys have different properties depending on the composition of their alloying elements. ...
The new Hitachi OE750 spark spectrometer can measure the entire spectrum of elements in metals to low detection limits. For us at Hitachi High-Tech, this was the goal for the OE750 development team and why we ended up designing a completely new optical concept and using a different detector technology. Our view is that detection limits of below 10ppm or >1 ppm (depending on the application and ...
There’s never been a more demanding time for those in the metals industry. Foundries and steel plants are under increasing pressure to use scrap materials in the melt. Supply chains are getting more complex and perhaps less reliable. Legislation for trace elements is getting ever tougher. The result is that to be able to consistently produce a profitable, high quality product that meets all ...
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy or LIBS is an analytical technique that's been used in laboratories for many years. Most handheld LIBS analysers are used for fast sorting of alloys in scrap yards, and alloy identification and analysis in various applications within the metals industry. Watch video here. How does LIBS work? During LIBS analysis, a focused pulsed laser hits the sample ...
In the wake of mis-certification scandals around the world, firms are tightening their quality assurance (QA) processes using materials analysers.Industry has been shaken recently by news of companies providing false certification in a range of fields, from emissions testing through to metal grading. Cases where suppliers have delivered mislabelled products only serve to highlight the importance ...
Sample preparation is the most important step of any chemical analysis. To get the best results with any elemental alloy analyser regardless of the technology, the sample must be clean before taking a measurement. Otherwise the results are always compromised at least to some extent. The effect of dirty surfaces will vary and some technologies are more forgiving to sample surface conditions than ...
A Thermo Scientific Niton x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. This versatile analyzer is the tool and method of choice for home inspection as well as elemental analysis of minerals. ...
Oil and gas industries utilise many radiation sources in various applied radiation-based technologies. Those technologies provide significant benefit to the daily operations of the industry. Gamma emitting sources of Cs-137, Co-60, Ba-133, Am-241 are used in oil and gas well logging, in Multiphase Flow Meter (MPFM) technology at oil and gas production facilities and in transmitted level gauges ...
