XRF Spectrometer | Axios mAX-Metals

It is specifically for the steel and metals sectors. Axios mAX-Metals delivers sensitive, reproducible and stable results for a wide range of applications; from high-precision metals analysis to accurate trace element determination.

Automated XRF for metals

Elemental analysis using XRF is well established in the metals industry for applications including:

•  Specialist alloy production, including nickel and cobalt for hi-tech applications
•  Copper-, aluminium- and titanium-based alloy production
•  Iron and steel manufacture, including slag analysis and incoming goods control
•  Precious metal production
•  Soldering alloy production
•  Monitoring scrap metal and unknown material, including environmental samples
•  Slag analysis for production control

PANalytical leadership

Axios mAX-Metals provides consistent high-quality data across the full elemental range, from fluorine to uranium and from ppm to 100 wt%. Easily integrated into automated laboratory systems, Axios mAX-Metals is ideal for medium to high throughput applications in R&D and production control.

Specialised software for metals  

Axios mAX-Metals uses a dedicated version of PANalytical's SuperQ software, with its highly intuitive interface. Each system comes with NiFeCo-FP and/or Cu-base-FP application solutions, consisting of templates and high-quality reference materials.

Special NiFeCo samples are used to set up wide range calibrations in Fe-, Ni- and Co-based materials, to analyze up to 19 elements encountered in super alloy production.

The Cu-base package covers many alloy compositions, such as brasses (including alloyed types), bronzes (including Al-, P- and Pb-types) and cupro-nickel.

Enhanced performance

The performance of Axios mAX–Metals can be further extended with features such as:

•  Power and continuous loading options for faster analysis
•  CHI-BLUE ccating for further enhanced robustness
•  Hi-Per Scint for unprecedented dynamic range and improved detection limits for a range of elements.
•  Duplex detector for more precise transition metals analysis
•  Curved upgrade and element-specific crystals enhance analytical performance for elements between Be and Cl
•  Hi-Per channels provide higher sensitivities and quicker analysis for light elements
•  Omnian for standardless analysis of unknowns
•  Pro-Trace, standards and software enable sub-ppm quantification of trace elements
