Cobalt and titanium alloys analysed precisely
Charge coupled device-based spectrometer permit ultimate accuracy in cobalt and titanium alloy analysis, plus cost effective and fast analysis of small teel and iron samples.
CCD-based spectrometer analyses magnesium alloys
Latest charge coupled device-based spectrometer provides quantitative as well as qualitative analysis allowing highly accurate, stable and reliable determination of magnesium alloys.
First launched in spring 2003, the ARL QUANTRIS already supported the iron and aluminum matrices.
The ARL QUANTRIS is designed to provide customers with quantitative as well as qualitative analysis for operation in challenging environments such as foundries or for industrial quality control in recycling plants, metals handlers, processors or transformers where flexibility is required.
The reproducibility and accuracy achieved on all major elements using the ARL QUANTRIS - and especially Aluminum (Al), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb), Tin (Sn) and Zinc (Zn) - are superior to those recorded on equivalent conventional PMT based instruments.
For example, a relative standard deviation of less than 0.3 % is achieved on Zinc (Zn) at 40 %.
Excellent detection limits and reproducibility are also achieved on traces and on undesirable elements in alloys like Aluminum (Al), Cobalt (Co), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Lead (Pb) and Sulfur (S).
With a growing number of ARL QUANTRIS installations, feedback received from customers is very positive, with analytical results exceeding expectations.
The instrument's stability and autonomy are also excellent - drift corrections and instrument stand maintenance no more than once a week - leading to lower operation costs.
