Materials

Stable and highly efficient production of metallic, ceramic, polymer, or rubber products requires a thorough monitoring of material quality. Thus, the materials analysis of raw materials and implemented material quality control within the production line are necessary. The elemental analysis is ideal for those check-ups of materials. With this method, it is possible to detect impurities, inclusions, surface oxidations, and further material defects in a simple, reliable, and fast way. 

Elemental analysis of the elements C, H, N, O and S and analysis of alloys by optical emission spectrometry (OES) are essential for the characterization, quality control, and certification of materials such as metals, inorganic materials, polymers, and rubber. For each of these applications, we offer dedicated analyzers for safe and reliable materials analysis, which meet all requirements in R&D, routine, and high-throughput laboratories. 

The functionality of modern materials, e. g. high quality steels and alloys, ceramics, catalysts, polymers, and electronic materials depends significantly on additive elements. Hence, it is of great interest to precisely analyze the elemental concentration in these materials. Consequently, elemental analysis and optical emission spectrometry are essential for the characterization, identification, quality control, and certification of metals, polymers, rubbers, and ceramics.

We offer high-performance elemental analyzers and optical emission spectrometers for the following applications in the materials industry and research:
