Handheld XRF Analyzers for Scrap Metal Applications

This video demonstrates the Innov-X range of handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers and their important application for scrap metal recycling. The portable device can determine chemical composition of metals in just seconds. It also has an in-built database permitting alloy identification.

Identifying Impurities in Steel Production using the ASPEX Metal Quality Analyzer SEM System

The ASPEX Metal Quality Analyzer (MQA) has for years, been at the forefront of inclusion analysis in investigative work to determine castability issues and improve product quality. The control of inclusions relies on accurate knowledge about the phase changes and compositional relation of them under various chemical and thermal conditions during processing. Given the direct link between the inclusion content and steel production process, manufacturers of steel demand an analyzer that can operate under adverse conditions.

The Bruker XRD Tracer Turbo SD Handheld Portable XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) Analyzer

The Bruker AXS Tracer Turbo SD, incorporating the silicon drift detector is demonstrated. It can analyze both ferrous alloys and light alloys, with this demomstration including a stainless steel and aluminium aloy. The instrument is suited to metals analysis, such as scrap metal sorting.

How Gold Alloying Process Can Make Different Kinds of Gold

Have you ever wander how jewellers make 14, 10, 8 carat gold and different exotic colors of gold? This video clip show how jewellers manufacutre gold alloys by mixing pure gold with other metals to give different unique properties and colors of gold. By adding various alloys you can obtain different colors. For example to obtain white gold paladium is added.
