Why take an X-ray diffraction course?
X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful and indispensable analytical method for industries with specific needs in the characterization of materials.
It enables crystalline phases to be precisely identified, atomic structures to be analysed and key information on mineralogical compositions to be obtained.
Training in XRD gives you a command of this technique, which is essential for developing your R&D projects, optimising your production processes and improving the quality of your products. Our Filab experts will work with you step by step to enhance your skills and guarantee reliable, usable results.
Why should you call on FILAB for DRX training?
You have just acquired a XRD in your laboratory? The competent person(s) are no longer part of your team? Would you like to improve your expertise in XRD analysis and the exploitation of results?
Whether you are involved in research, innovation or solving specific problems, when you call on Filab for X-ray diffraction training, you benefit from solid know-how and recognised expertise in X-ray diffraction.
As an accredited training organisation, FILAB supports your teams in the use of the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis technique, whatever your sector of activity.
The industries concerned
The DRX technique meets the requirements of many industrial sectors. It is particularly useful for :
- The pharmaceutical industry, for characterising polymorphs and crystalline forms of drugs.
- The construction materials industry, for analysing mineral phases and cementing products.
- The aerospace and automotive industries, to study the composition of alloys and ceramics.
- Energy, for research into new materials and the characterization of catalysts.
- The environment, for soil and mineral contaminant analysis.
Filab helps players in these sectors to develop their skills in DRX for practical, innovative applications.
What is the principle of X-ray Diffraction?
X-ray Diffraction (XRD) is an analytical technique that can be used to study the different phases of crystalline materials.
The principle of XRD is two fold:
- Identifying and quantifying the chemical elements that make up a material
- Access to a wealth of information contained in the very arrangement of elements within a material.
Qualitative analysis identifies the crystalline compound(s) present in a material and their crystallographic forms. Quantitative analysis enables the content of these compounds to be determined, both in trace form and as major compounds, by refinement using the Rietveld method or by specific calibration.
The advantages of the DRX technique
X-ray diffraction offers unique advantages for materials analysis:
- Precision : fine identification of crystalline phases, guaranteeing detailed analysis of composition.
- Speed : results obtained in a short space of time, enabling rapid decision-making.
- Versatility : a technique that can be applied to a range of materials, from metals and ceramics to polymers and powders.
- Reproducibility : reliable, consistent measurements, ideal for quality control and production monitoring.
XRD is the tool of choice for any company seeking to guarantee the quality of its products and improve its production processes. At Filab, our approach to training enables professionals to take full advantage of it for analyses that are both efficient and cost-effective.
