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.
