How to Effectively Identify Fake Cr-V Steel During Receiving Inspection with Handheld XRF?
Chromium vanadium steel requires precise alloying for high strength and fatigue resistance. Most tool steels use chromium 0.5–1% and vanadium 0.15–0.25%. Deviations reduce hardness and service life. In automotive, infrastructure, or tooling, adulterated steel increases a...Read more -
Vanadium Content Quantification in Vanadium Slag Recycling
Vanadium slag forms during basic oxygen and electric arc steelmaking; each ton of high-vanadium steel can yield up to 50 kg of vanadium slag. Comprising 10–25% V2O5 on average, slag represents the largest secondary vanadium source globally, critical for both vanadium rec...Read more -
How to Verify Scandium (Sc) Content Verification of Turbine Blades?
Elemental composition directly determines turbine blade mechanical strength, oxidation resistance, and thermal endurance. Superalloys rely on precise ratios of nickel, chromium, and cobalt for structural integrity under 1,000°C. Deviations as little as ±0.1% in alloying ...Read more -
Why Is Handheld EDXRF the Key to Accurate Scandium Testing in Incoming Parts?
Incoming parts inspection identifies defects and prevents costly rework by verifying aluminum scandium alloy properties before components reach production. Incorrect alloy composition directly impacts product performance, increases defect rates, and leads to downstream d...Read more -
Can X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy Accurately Quantify Calcium and Phosphorus in Poultry Feeds?
Calcium and phosphorus constitute over 70% of total mineral content in poultry skeletons, forming the hydroxyapatite matrix responsible for bone rigidity and strength. Optimal calcium in poultry feed benefits skeletal development, preventing disorders like rickets and os...Read more -
How Calcium Screening in Staple Crops for Biofortification Breeding?
Global dietary calcium deficiency affects 30% of the population. In low- and middle-income countries, staple crops lack calcium after processing, worsening this gap. Serious outcomes include osteoporosis, impaired growth in children, weakened bone structure, and increase...Read more -
Why X-ray Dominates Milk Powder Calcium Tests?
Calcium ranks as the primary mineral for bone mineralization, cell growth, metabolic regulation, and nutritional adequacy. Milk powders offer unique calcium profiles based on animal origin. Sheep milk powder contains the highest calcium content (1930–2100 mg/100 g), goat...Read more -
Calcium Fluoride Quantification in Toothpaste Using XRF Calcium Analyzer
Calcium fluoride promotes remineralization by forming a reservoir of fluoride ions on enamel. Upon acid challenge (pH < 5.5), it releases fluoride, driving the conversion of hydroxyapatite into fluorapatite—25% less soluble in acid than hydroxyapatite. This process in...Read more -
Portable XRF Mineral Analyzer in Rapid Grade Evaluation of Potash Deposits
On-site elemental analysis is essential for precise potash ore mining. Portable XRF analyzers deliver non-destructive, multi-elemental detection at the drill site, supporting rapid potash deposit evaluation. Immediate field results streamline ore grade control techniques...Read more -
0.4% Chloride Ruins Concrete—Is Your Steel Safe?
Chloride content in concrete directly accelerates corrosion of reinforcing steel, disrupting protective oxide layers and causing localized rust formation. Chloride concentrations exceeding 0.4% by mass of cement trigger corrosion of reinforcement, reducing structural dur...Read more -
How XRF Chlorine Analysis Works in Rapid PVC Sorting?
Why Chlorine Content Matters in PVC and Non-PVC Plastics Chlorine content is the primary identifier for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) among thermoplastics. PVC typically contains 56% chlorine by weight, which is detectable only by specialized elemental analysis techniques suc...Read more -
Why Sulfur Coal Risks SO₂ Fines & Market Losses?
Sulfur content in coal directly affects coal classification, coal trade settlement, combustion pollution assessment and commercial value. Coals with over 1% sulfur are often categorized as high sulfur, facing restricted markets and lower prices. Low sulfur coal, with les...Read more
