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 100% full inspection for key materials involved is a guarantee of safe production.

This may seem like a big challenge, but advances in analytical technology have made it exceptionally simple. Today, the Thermo Fisher Scientific XRF analyzer has become a leader in the alloy material identification (PMI) industry, with fast, reliable analysis, light weight, durability, and adaptability to any environment and weather conditions. With the Thermo Fisher Scientific 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, the Thermo Fisher Scientific alloy analyzer can complete the analysis of large quantities of samples in a very short time, accurately and without damage.

In addition, the Thermo Scientific Niton 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 can cause catastrophic accidents, bring economic losses to the enterprise, damage the reputation of the enterprise, and even lead to casualties. Before the quality management system and Six Sigma methodology 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 the Thermo Fisher Scientific analyzer, which has made great progress in handheld XRF technology, quality control and testing personnel can accurately detect thousands of metal alloy samples every day under completely 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 of the Thermo Scientific Niton 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 - all of these samples can be accurately detected by the Thermo Fisher Scientific XRF analyzer.

Metals Recycling

In recent years, the development of the metal waste recycling industry has been rapid. Faced with a variety of alloy types and uneven material quality, advanced testing methods must be used to conduct rapid and accurate analysis and testing on site to adapt to constantly changing market conditions and stand invincible in the fierce industry competition.
