Alloy analyzer supplier

The alloy composition analyzer can identify the brand and composition of the core metal components used in the engine within a few seconds, and conduct a full inspection of the purchased materials to avoid mixing. It has been widely used in the aviation field.

Tips for using alloy composition analyzer:

1. The surface should be clean

When testing, attention should be paid to the coating, plating, and residual paint on the metal surface. Many scrap steel surfaces will be nickel plated, and if the plating is not removed, only the composition of the plating will be identified. Paint can also interfere with chemical reactions, which may lead to misidentification of alloys. Some natural reasons can also interfere with the accurate readings of the instrument, such as oxide layers (rust) and scale, so corrosion should be removed. Of course, interfering materials such as grout, rubber, etc. should also be removed thoroughly.

2. Layered metals should be separated

When testing multi-layer samples, each layer needs to be analyzed separately. Because there may be lead or copper containing electronic devices carried in some multilayer metals.

3. Specific samples need to be powdered

Some of the recycled samples need to be ground into powder and tested to ensure uniformity. For example, in the recovery of three-way catalysts, each catalyst can recover a certain amount of precious metals such as platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and rhodium (Rh). 1-2 grams can be recovered from small cars, and 12-15 grams can be recovered from large trucks. But inferior three-way catalysts may not contain precious metals. In order to avoid significant economic losses and quickly and accurately determine the content of Pt, Pd, and Rh in the catalyst, it is necessary to grind the sample into powder and test it to ensure profitability.

4. If the alloy grades are similar, please wait a few more seconds

Some alloys with very similar specifications may show that the two alloy grades are the same when tested quickly, making it difficult to distinguish. In some cases, longer readings (5-10 seconds) can provide higher accuracy in distinguishing similar metals.

5. The testing window is very 'hard', please be gentle

For many analyzers, the testing window of the instrument comes into contact with various metals every day. The smooth surface will not cause damage to the testing window, but it is inevitable to encounter some "spikes" with sharp edges and corners, which can easily scratch the testing window. For some users, turning waste has always been one of the most difficult samples to detect, as sharp edges may damage the detector window of the analyzer, resulting in unnecessary repair costs. Some powders may also stick to the measurement window and be added to subsequent readings. Therefore, the testing window is very 'hard', please be gentle with it.
