Spark Spectroscopy analysis
Industrialists in the metallurgical field, you wish to analyze your metals by spark gap spectrometry
What is spark spectroscopy analysis?
First of all, spark spectrometry is an analytical device used to determine the chemical composition of a metal.
A spark is made between the sample and the tungsten electrode, which heats the atoms to a high temperature.
Then, the excited atoms emit light at a characteristic wavelength. Finally, this light is analyzed to determine the components of the metal.
Moreover, the analysis by spark spectrometry is particularly used in industry. Indeed, it allows to validate the conformity of a part according to a standard or a particular specification.

FAQ
Spark spectroscopy analysis is an analytical technique used to determine the chemical composition of metallic materials. It is based on a spark generated between the sample and an electrode, causing atoms to emit light at characteristic wavelengths.
Spark spectroscopy is widely used to verify material conformity, control alloy composition, identify contaminants and support quality control in metallurgical industries.
Spark spectroscopy can be used to analyse steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloys and other metallic materials commonly used in industrial applications.
Spark spectroscopy is considered a minimally destructive technique. The analysis affects only a very small area of the metal surface, which usually does not impact the usability of the part.
Spark spectroscopy provides fast and highly accurate results for elemental composition analysis, making it suitable for both routine quality control and more advanced metallurgical investigations.
Yes, spark spectroscopy is widely used for quality control in industrial environments, particularly to validate raw materials, finished parts and compliance with specific metallurgical standards.
Using a specialized laboratory ensures reliable measurements, calibrated equipment, expert interpretation of results and compliance with industrial and quality standards.
FILAB has over 30 years of experience in metallurgical analysis and provides spark spectroscopy analysis with dedicated expertise, tailored support and detailed analytical reports.
