Applications
Quality Metal Analysis
Iron & steel alloys, incl. impurities
Steel producers require consistent, precise, and accurate outcomes in a timely manner with low operating expenses. Unreliable results lead to faulty batches that require costly rework. The Q8 MAGELLAN's high vacuum optic provides the stability and performance that primary metal manufacturers and fabricators seek.
Inclusion analysis in steels
The demand for cleaner, higher-quality steels is growing steadily. Nonmetallic impurities such as oxides and sulfides play an essential role in steel cleaning. Premium items require the lowest oxygen levels and the highest standards of steel cleanliness. With its SSE capabilities and the "Metal-Cleanliness-Inspection" bundle, the Q8 MAGELLAN effortlessly delivers crucial quality indicators.
Non Ferrous Metals
Aluminum & Magnesium alloys and impurities - Nickel & Cobalt alloys and impurities - Lead, Tin & Zinc alloys and impurities - Copper & Titanium alloys and imputities - Precious metals (on request, subject to sample availability) including demanding tasks like: - Oxygen in copper - Nitrogen in steels.
