The Metals edition of Zetium

The new element in metals

The Metals edition of the Zetium spectrometer is designed to deliver analytical excellence in the metals industry. It incorporates years of experience and the latest technology to meet the strictest process control targets, from raw materials to final and secondary products.

Like all Zetium spectrometers, the Metals edition delivers reliable analytical performance regardless of the application and excels in areas related to production control and R&D in metals, such as:   

  • Iron, nickel and cobalt alloys 
  • Copper, aluminum and titanium alloys 
  • Iron and steel
  • Precious metals 
  • Soldering alloys 
  • Scrap metals and unknown materials 
  • Slags
  • Raw materials
  • Single layer or multi-layer coatings

Overview

The Metals edition is pre-configured to deliver fast and reliable results from day 1 with the appropriate hardware and your choice of pre-calibrated application solutions including:

  • NiFeCo - for the analysis of steels and alloys
  • Cu-Base - for the analysis of copper alloys
  •  LAS - for the analysis of low-alloy steel

You can also choose to add WROXI, for the analysis of oxides in raw materials, or Stratos, for the analysis of coatings.

The SumXcore brings together the benefits of WD- and EDXRF technology into one platform. This combination delivers unique advantages in the production of metals including:

  • reductions in analysis time of up to 50 % for higher sample throughput or improved precision in a given time
  • identification of unexpected elements in production samples

For inclusion or homogeneity analysis small spot mapping and elemental distribution analysis is possible with the ED core and unique translation mechanics.

Connected World

Unleash the potential of your data
