Metals and Alloys
Elemental, phase and residual stress analysis
Quality production demands control of material properties throughout the entire process from raw material to finished product. The speed and precision of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) elemental analysis make it a preferred testing method in high sample throughput chemical analysis. In addition to alloy stoichiometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD) examines phase composition, retained austenite concentration or residual stress, which correlate with structural quality of your products.

X-ray diffraction helps metals producers, alloy developers, and manufacturers understand how crystalline structure affects strength, hardness, fatigue resistance, corrosion behavior, formability, thermal stability, and product reliability.
Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry provides fast, accurate, and non-destructive quantification of major and trace elements in steels, alloys, and slags. Its superior resolution and stability enable consistent monitoring from ore to final metal products.
Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence is a powerful tool used for metals and alloys to ensure the integrity and quality of metal products. This non-destructive technique offers a fast and indispensable method for high-throughput quality control testing in the metals industry.
