FAQ
Analysis of the composition of a metal alloy enables the precise determination of the chemical elements of which it is made. This step is essential for checking that the alloy complies with the technical specifications and quality standards expected.
The composition of an alloy directly influences its physical and mechanical properties, such as corrosion resistance, hardness and conductivity. Knowing this composition ensures that the alloy meets performance requirements in specific applications.
Several techniques can be used to determine the composition of an alloy, including mass spectrometry, X-ray fluorescence and electron microscopy. These methods are highly accurate for identifying elements and measuring their proportions in the alloy.
Most metal alloys can be analysed for their composition, whether ferrous (steel, cast iron) or non-ferrous (aluminium, copper, titanium). The analysis can be used to optimise their use in industrial applications.
