Thermo Fisher Scientific has unveiled an integrated solution designed for the metals industry.
Spectrometer
The solution integrates the power of optical emission spectrometry (OES) with wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF). It features the company’s ARL 3460 Advantage OES metals analyzer and ARL OPTIM'X WDXRF slag analyzer.
The solution offers metal processing companies and foundries a quick and precise examination of solid metals done by OES, and an efficient analysis of metallurgic alloys and slags done by WDXRF. The OES offers swift analysis of low nitrogen and carbon, with other alloying elements in steel and iron. Whereas, XRF provides highly reliable analysis of raw materials, cast irons, and metallurgical slags.
The ARL 3460 Advantage spectrometer provides increased stability and reliability, ensuring trouble-free function with low maintenance cost. Its optical configuration has been optimized to cover majority of the analytical requirements ofa foundry.
The Thermo Scientific ARL OPTIM'X spectrometer is a reliable and cost-efficient X-ray fluorescence solution for non-metallic samples and other metallic elements. The spectrometer has the ability to analyze fluorine in slags, as well as to analyze Fe2O3, K2O, S, Al2O3, Na2O, MgO, SiO2 and CaO. Both the spectrometers are powered by the company’s Windows 7-based OXSAS analytical software to help the user to learn quickly and operate both the spectrometers.
