The XL3t 900 handheld XRF analyzer for light element analysis in alloy material has a helium-purging mechanism for direct analysis of light elements. Thermo Scientific Niton analyzer provides more alloy sorting capabilities than previously achieved with handheld instrumentation. Diverse industries, including manufacturing and fabricators of aluminum, copper and aerospace "superalloys," directly benefit from these improvements. The nondestructive nature of the XRF technique allows testing of finished or sensitive parts without damage.
Using this piece of equipment, operators can measure light element alloy content with the same analyzer that they use to test high-temp alloys. Thousands of added alloy grades can now be assessed with the simple pull of a trigger.
