Semi automatic handheld alloy analyzer

1. Core Technologies and Principles

The handheld alloy analyzer mainly adopts the following two technologies:

(1) X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF)

• principleEmission of X-rays to excite sample atoms, and determination of element type and content through detection of the returned fluorescence spectrum.

• Applicable elements: Usually detectableMagnesium (Mg)~Uranium (U)High performance models can measure aluminum (Al) and above elements.

• advantage：

• Non destructive testing, without damaging the sample

• Fast detection speed (1-3 seconds)

• Suitable for most alloys (stainless steel, copper alloy, titanium alloy, etc.)

• shortcoming：

• Unable to detect light elements (such asC carbon, Li lithium）

• Affected by the surface state of the sample (oxide layer, coating)

2. Main application areas

industry	Typical Applications
metal manufacturing	Raw material acceptance, welding material testing, composition control (such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy)
Scrap metal recycling	Quickly sort scrap steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, etc. to increase recycling value
petrochemical	Verification of pipeline and valve materials (such as Hastelloy, duplex steel, Inconel high-temperature alloy)
aerospace	Material testing of turbine blades and engine components (such as titanium alloys and nickel based alloys)
electric power energy	Boiler, pressure vessel, and welding material composition analysis (to prevent material degradation)
Jewelry and precious metals	Purity testing of gold, platinum, and silver (such as 18K gold and 999 silver)
