Rapid Analysis of Carbon in Steel and High Performance Analysis of Stainless and High Temperature Alloys
The Rigaku KT-500 hand-held analyzer represents the next advancement in handheld laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS).
Building on the capability of the KT-100 Series analyzer, the KT-500 adds High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer (HiRES) technology for rapid analysis of carbon in steels along with high performance of stainless and high temperature alloys such as nickel and cobalt bases alloys.
The KT-500 is being offered for QA/QC applications and positive material identification (PMI) within petrochemical and power generation for customers who need carbon analysis of their steels along with stainless steel and high temperature alloys. These industries have found that relying on material test reports (MTR) alone is not enough when fabricating key components for these mission critical applications.
