X-ray fluorescence (XRF) has long been the preferred method for quantitative analysis in steel production due to its accuracy and reliability. But when it comes to challenging materials like Direct Reduced Iron and ferroalloys such as Ferrosilicon, Ferrochromium, and Ferromanganese, the analysis can be more complex.
In this video, our expert explain how Malvern Panalytical overcomes these challenges using innovative approaches and deep expertise. From meticulous sample preparation to setting up customized applications, our team ensures the highest level of accuracy—a crucial factor in determining the value of these materials, as even small measurement errors can lead to significant price differences.
Key Highlights:
– The importance of XRF in steel and ferroalloy production
– Custom calibration standards for accurate analysis
– Detailed fusion programs and sample preparation techniques
– Real-world examples of customer success in ferroalloy projects
Translating manual laboratory expertise into high-throughput automated solutions can be challenging, especially when simple tasks like vortex mixing or bead releasing require extra care during automation. In this video, we explain how Malvern Panalytical adapts existing XRF methods for use in automated laboratories, delivering consistent, precise results with minimal human intervention.
Our goal is to ensure automated sample preparation matches—or even exceeds—the accuracy of manual methods. This includes everything from the automated preparation of pressed pellets to the creation of fused beads for XRF analysis. By minimizing human error, automation not only boosts the precision and consistency of analysis but also significantly enhances laboratory throughput—ensuring more results with fewer resources.
Key Highlights:
– Challenges of adapting manual XRF methods for automation
– Precision in automated sample preparation, from pressed pellets to fused beads
– Collaboration across engineering, software, and analytical teams
– Benefits of automation: increased throughput and reduced need for specialized staff
