Metals Analysis

Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES) for elemental analysis across foundries, steel plants and metal traders.

Element analysis is essential for process and quality control. Optical Emission Spectrometers (OES) are used worldwide for element analysis in all fields of metal production and processing — including foundries, steel plants, roller mills, automotive suppliers and metal traders.

Using OES, all relevant elements can be analysed directly and simultaneously from sub-ppm to percentage levels. In the welding industry, pre-, in- and post-welding inspections are of the utmost importance, and OES plays a key role in ensuring quality.

Metal and alloy analysis ensures optimum quality as well as the safety and security of metalworking products throughout the whole production process. Fast, accurate elemental analysis minimises cost-intensive delays and potentially dangerous product failures.
