Metals Industry

Spectrometers from SPECTRO carry out many widely varying analytical tasks in the metals industry.

Mobile metal analyzers, especially designed for location-independent use, are used to identify, sort and analyze metals for incoming inspections, during production processes and before delivery. And that’s not all: They also play a major role in scrap yards, for internal recycling, at building sites and in chemical plants.

Because of their high accuracy, stationary metal analyzers are used for process control in the metal producing industry and for quality control during metal processing as well as in laboratories for research and development.

The analysis of industrial waste water and other liquids, such as coating baths, are typical applications for ICP spectrometers. They are, however, also utilized for the determination of pure metals and the lowest of element concentrations in metals.

The analysis of precious metals, jewelry or dental alloys is most frequently performed with the non-destructive XRF spectrometer. These are also well suited to many other tasks, such as the analysis of coatings, the automatic detection of inclusions and impurities or the examination of furnace slag.
