Why composition control matters Tool steel is the foundation of cutting and measuring instruments, machine parts subject to heavy wear, and dies for cold and hot forming. Even the slightest deviations in its composition can affect hardness, wear resistance, or hardenability. The result: equipment downtime, costly remelting of batches, or reduced service life of finished products. For ...
Imagine the first human settlements: people building homes, making pottery, storing water and grain. The material that made all this possible was clay. It is highly plastic, easily molded into any shape, and after firing becomes as hard as stone. Not by chance, clay tablets became the very first “pages” of human history. Even today, clay remains the foundation of entire industries: ...
A carbon conversion catalyst accelerates the chemical reactions that transform carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable outputs like fuels and chemicals. While CO2 conversion typically demands significant energy, catalysts enhance the speed and specificity of this process. These versatile catalysts find applications in thermochemical, electrochemical, and photocatalytic reactions. Materials like ...
Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive analytical technique based on the inelastic scattering of photons related to the different vibrational modes of molecules. This discovery by C. V. Raman in 1928 resulted in a simple yet effective method to determine the structure of simple molecules that continues to grow in popularity among the scientific community. As the spectrometer’s laser ...
In conventional fluorescence spectrometers only a certain fraction of the emitted light is collected and detected; with the size of the fraction depending on numerous factors. ...
It has been recognized that NMR would be an invaluable technique for this purpose, however the costs and maintenance of high field NMR has limited its use. The Magritek Spinsolve benchtop NMR spectrometer is the ideal solution for forensics due to its small footprint, simple sample preparation and superior ...
Abstract Quantitative and qualitative analysis of geological samples (rocks and river sediments) was performed on Xenemetrix EDXRF Benchtop Spectrometer System, model X-Calibur Objective: Perform XRF measurements on certified geological reference materials to build calibration curves for the major oxides (Na2O, MgO, SiO2, Al2O3, SiO2, P2O5, SO3, K2O, CaO, ...
For many years the water industry has relied on traditional sampling techniques to monitor water quality in a wide range of environments. Traditional tests such as BOD, PH, Dissolved Oxygen and Ammonia have formed the bedrock of monitoring parameters. There are however other ways to establish water quality and UV fluorescence offers an up to date solution for the investigation of Organic ...
