Fully automatic alloy analyzer

Alloy Material Identification (PMI)

It is important to avoid using substandard or non compliant alloys. More than half of the serious industrial accidents that have occurred in the past were caused by alloy material mixing and pipeline system damage. Therefore, monitoring the changes in alloy materials of production equipment during the production process to ensure safe production is more important than ever before. Sampling inspection poses safety hazards, and replacing sampling inspection with full inspection for all key materials involved is a guarantee of safe production.

This may seem like a challenge, but advances in analytical technology have made it exceptionally simple. Nowadays, the Olympus XRF analyzer has become an industry tool for alloy material identification (PMI), with fast, reliable analysis, light weight, durability, and adaptability to various environmental and weather conditions. With the Olympus XRF analyzer, maintenance personnel can quickly complete alloy material identification tasks for mile long conveyor systems and production equipment. From metal wires to solder joints, valves, or process pressure vessels, regardless of shape or size, Olympus alloy analyzers can complete the analysis of large quantities of samples in a very short time, accurately and without damage.

In addition, the Olympus handheld XRF analyzer is also suitable for identifying alloy materials in industries such as petrochemicals, power, pressure vessels, metallurgy, mechanical manufacturing, and aerospace.

Quality Control (QA/QC) in Mechanical Manufacturing

For the metal manufacturing industry, quality control and quality assurance are equally important. Material inspection is the key to ensuring the use of qualified materials for metal products. If unqualified metal alloys are used, it will cause catastrophic accidents, bring great economic losses to the enterprise, damage the reputation of the enterprise, and even lead to casualties. Before the quality management system drew attention to optimizing quality control, many quality control departments relied on ineffective and lax quality inspection methods, or relied solely on material inspection reports for alloy composition.

Now, with Olympus' analyzer that has made great progress in handheld XRF technology, quality control and testing personnel can accurately detect thousands of metal alloy samples every day under non-destructive conditions. In fact, even junior inspectors can confidently measure a large number of samples with complete and accurate results.

The typical testing time for Olympus handheld alloy XRF analyzer is 1-2 seconds. If the testing time is extended by a few more seconds, accurate laboratory level test results can be obtained. No need to prepare samples, from metal filaments to finished solder joints, screws, metal plates - these samples can be accurately detected by Olympus handheld XRF alloy analyzer.

Metals Recycling

In recent years, the development of the metal waste recycling industry has been extremely rapid. Faced with a variety of alloy types and uneven material quality, it is necessary to use testing methods to conduct rapid and accurate analysis and testing on site to adapt to constantly changing market conditions and stand out in the fierce industry competition.

Now, with the Olympus XRF alloy analyzer, a large amount of metal waste can be detected on-site and quickly classified. It only takes a short time to obtain the alloy grade and composition content. Provided necessary information for both buyers and sellers to make quick and reliable judgments during transactions.

Archaeology/Cultural Relic Appraisal

With the continuous development and innovation of technology, identifying the age of ancient artworks and obtaining quantitative data from them has become one of the research methods in the archaeological community and museums. Chemical element data analysis has become a commonly used method in surveying, excavation site mapping, cultural relic protection, or origin identification work.

Real time acquisition of quantitative basic data in this field is important for archaeology and cultural heritage preservation. As an important product of handheld X-ray fluorescence analyzers for a long time, Olympus XRF analyzers have the ability to provide on-site non-destructive testing solutions for archaeologists and cultural relic protection workers, whether in the field, laboratory, or museum. This is due to the fact that the T Olympus XRF analyzer can choose different analysis modes for on-site analysis of various types of environments, such as selecting alloy analysis mode, which can analyze the metal element content in bronze ware; By selecting soil or mineral analysis modes, valuable analysis results can be obtained by directly analyzing the metal composition in ceramics and murals, conducting environmental surveys on archaeological sites, or bagging collected samples for analysis.

Analysis of Metal Coating Thickness

Electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of other metals or alloys on a metal surface. It is a process that uses electrolysis to attach a layer of metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts, thereby preventing metal oxidation (such as rust), improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (such as copper sulfate), and enhancing aesthetics.

Handheld alloy analyzer can quickly provide single-layer or multi-layer thickness analysis for various metal coatings, quantitatively analyze alloy composition, and optimize metal ion content analysis for electroplating solution control.

Applications include automobile manufacturing, paint and powder coating manufacturing, electroplating plants, and PCB copper tube thickness measurement.
