Superior Metal & Alloy Analysis for Manufacturing
Product performance, reliability, and safety are paramount to the success of any business, but these can't exist without precise elemental analysis and positive material identification (PMI) during manufacturing. The risk for material mixups throughout the supply chain and incorrect documentation from sloppy or dishonest suppliers is all too real, seriously impairing manufacturing quality assurance and control efforts. Components made with the wrong metal or alloy grade can result in production slowdowns, profit loss, recalls, a damaged business reputation, and even threaten human life.
To stay afloat in a competitive marketplace, it's imperative for manufacturers to perform elemental analysis and PMI of all incoming raw materials, work in progress, and final quality assurance of finished parts. This can present many challenges, especially because the metal analysis and verification must be done quickly, easily, and - above all - accurately.
Thermo Scientific Niton Handheld Analyzers are designed to empower manufacturers to take control of material analysis and verification with fast, precise, point-and-shoot simplicity. Contact one of our specialists today to find out more
Advanced Technology for Material Analysis
Thermo Scientific Niton Handheld Analyzers are the industry's premier tools for accurate, non-destructive PMI and elemental analysis, quickly and easily verifying metal composition and distinguishing between nearly identical alloy grades.
These tools are powered by advanced technology - X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)
- XRF is a non-destructive elemental analysis method that uses X-rays to precisely determine the chemistry of the most common elements in metals and alloy grades. XRF testing is considered one of the most reliable methods for material identification and alloy grade verification available today
- LIBS is a minimally-destructive analytical technique that uses a high-focused laser pulse to accurately identify alloy grades and calculate carbon equivalents. LIBS technology has become essential for measuring the carbon content of welds, low alloy steel, and stainless steel
Lab-quality Results in the Palm of Your Hand
It takes just a few seconds for Thermo Scientific Niton Handheld Analyzers to deliver the precise chemical analysis necessary to identify alloys, inspect raw materials, recover lost material traceability, and perform quality control and quality assurance (QA/QC).
