Features and performance |
The SpectroMAXx F spectrometer is a laboratory spectrometer with optical emission used for the quantitative analysis of elements in solid metal samples. Performances: Spark medium: argon Optical system based on CCD technology, usable in the entire spectral range. Wavelength range 160 - 800 nm. The instrument includes software for storing and exporting determined values and allows input of sample identification data. Areas of application: carbon and low alloy steels, stainless steels, tool steels. Detectable elements (min. range): C=0.004-1.1 S=0.003-0.06 P=0.003-0.05 Mn=0.002-10 Si=0.003-1.3 Ni=0.005-45.00 Cr=0.003-34.00 Mo=0.005-10.00 V=0.002-0.11 Ti=0.001-1.4
Modular structure, with the possibility of expansion to other categories of Fe-C alloys and non-ferrous alloys. Unlimited number of programs that can be created for analysis. Results shown in concentrations. Possibility of recalibration in 1 or 2 points. Additive or multiplicative interelement correction. Automatic or manual selection of spectral lines. Warning for results outside the calibration range. |

Areas of use |
The SpectroMAXx F spectrometer allows the quantitative analysis of elements in solid metal samples, working in the wavelength range 170 - 670 nm. The special adapter for small parts (6 mm) allows its use also for very small samples. Currently, the device is equipped with modules for determining the chemical composition of carbon and low-alloy steels, stainless steels and tool steels. However, the device has a modular structure, with the possibility of expanding the scope of work to other categories of Fe-C alloys and non-ferrous alloys, with an unlimited number of programs that can be created for analysis. In addition, the Key to Metal Steel program allows the unique identification of the analyzed steel brand. The complete characterization of a metallic material involves, first of all, determining its chemical composition and then its structure and properties. For this reason, the device is used for any type of research related to metallic materials. The spectrometer is also used in the metallographic expertise carried out for economic agents in order to establish the cause that led to the destruction of machine parts during processing or exploitation or to carry out qualitative industrial analyses. |
