X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis determines the elemental composition of a sample, and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) provides mineralogical information about how the various elements are combined together. Combining the results of both XRF and XRD techniques allows for a better, more complete characterization of any given crystalline sample.
- Can take the place of two separate instruments
- Permits rapid and very precise analysis of solid samples
- The ARL 9900 X-ray WorkStation* can detect the presence of up to 83 elements (from Boron to Uranium) in concentrations ranging from parts per million to 100%
- With IntelliPower, choose the right power according to application demands: 1200W, 2500W, 3600W or 4200W
- Advanced integrated software reports the results as soon as the analysis is performed
- Only one sample introduction, fast, simple and highly reliable
- Easily upgraded to handle evolving analytical requirements
Integration of XRF and XRD yields several advantages:
- Single interface with the user for both techniques
- Elemental and phase results merged into a single analysis bulletin
- Minimizes occupied floor space
X-ray System
- Optical system design allows precise measurement, high sensitivity and stable analysis
- X-ray tube mounted above sample, preventing damage by defective samples, e.g. fragile pellets
Fixed Monochromators
- Compact slit-crystal geometry detects elements at very low concentrations
- Ensures faster response through simultaneous analysis of specific elements
XRF Goniometers
- Programmable for quantitative analysis of specific elements or qualitative analysis of elements present in sample
- High-quality sequential X-ray spectrometry afforded by use of Moire fringe technology
- Full capability for analysis of nonroutine elements
Automation
- Fast, simple and highly reliable sample introduction system available with variable degrees of automation to free staff for other work
- Can be linked to automatic sample preparation instruments for online process control
Recommended for: - Metals: iron, steel, aluminum, copper and alloys; Titanium, magnesium, slags and sinters
