Scanning
Electron Microscopy, or SEM analysis, provides high-resolution imaging useful
for evaluating various materials for surface fractures, flaws, contaminants or
corrosion. Through SEM and EDX analysis, our metallurgical experts provide a
thorough examination of material properties and give valuable insights to
manufacturers.
SEM analysis is a powerful
investigative tool which uses a focused beam of electrons to produce complex,
high magnification images of a sample’s surface topography. Once an area of
interest has been identified on the sample and evaluated using SEM, our experts
can dive deeper into the detail of the material using energy-dispersive x-ray
spectroscopy, or EDX analysis.
Performing a visual
analysis of a surface using scanning electron microscopy contributes to the
identification of contaminates or unknown particles, the cause of failure and
interactions between materials.
In addition to surface
evaluation, SEM analysis is utilized for particle characterization, such as
wear debris generated during mechanical wear testing. The high magnification,
high-resolution imaging of our SEM analysis supports the determination of the
number, size, and morphology of small particles, allowing clients to understand
the wear properties of their material
EDX RF analysis
Energy
Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDX RF) analysis techniques provide major, minor
and trace element quantification across the broadest range of samples,
including bulk solids, granules, powders, thin films and all manner of liquids
with extreme ease of sample preparation. It can be used for a wide range of elements,
from carbon (9) to uranium (92) and wide variety of industries and
applications, including:
- cement production
- mining
- mineral beneficiation
- iron
- steel and non-ferrous metals
- RoHS screening and
quantification
- petroleum and petrochemicals
- polymers and related industries
- glass production
- pharmaceuticals
- healthcare products
- environmental
- food
and cosmetics
