Chemical analyses
- technical iron (steel, cast iron, pig iron)
- nonferrous metals and nonferrous alloys (alloys of aluminium, nickel, copper, titanium, cobalt)
- ferroalloys
- silicon carbide
- refractory materials (fireclay, bauxite, corundum, clay etc.)
- oxide materials (slags, ores, agglomerates, lime, magnesite, chromite and silicon sands, casting powders, fly ashes and wollastonites grinding discs etc.)
- solid fuels (black coal, coke, anthracite, solid carbon substances e.g. electrode materials etc.)
- engine fuels (diesel fuel)
- oils
- etc.
Other services
- Positive Material Identification PMI also at the customer's premises
- semiquantitative analysis - rapid X-ray analysis of unknown samples
- exposure of samples for testing the resistance of stainless steels to intergranular corrosion (MKK), for tests SSC-A, SSC-B and HIC , for testing corrosion resistance by the method of weight loss, deep etching to evaluate the macrostructure
- determination of mechanical impurities in cylinders
- determination of non-volatile hydrocarbons in cylinders
- mass activity measurement of metal samples
- determination of pH in aqueous extracts
POSITIVE MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION (PMI)
Chemical analysis of metal materials, determination of individual chemical elements of:
- input materials (plates, forgings, castings, pipes, bars, wires etc.)
- products of various shapes (flanges, fittings, welds etc.)
Area of usage:
- material grade verification / elimination of material replacement
- material grade determination
- metal material lots sorting
Advantages:
- quick and precise (in case of XRF also non-destructive) analysis
- PMI measurements also directly at the customer’s premises (XRF portable spectrometer)
- PMI report - comparison of the determined chemical composition with the material specification according to normative requirements / heat analysis (with the conclusion ACCEPT / REJECT)
