Analytical Services
Concept Alloys' analytical laboratory features chemical analysis via energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectroscopy. This technique is capable of non-destructive elemental analysis of solid, powder and liquid samples. It is ideally suited to materials associated with most products, production processes, and failure analysis.
Our extensive chemical and metallurgical expertise, along with experience in a variety of industries allows us to provide accurate and thorough solutions to technical problems such as:
- Product Failure analysis
- Raw material analysis
- Materials/problems associated with production processes
- Environmental samples
- Quality Control analysis
Important Considerations:
- EDXRF provides both qualitative and quantitative analysis, and can measure elements over the range of atomic number 11(Na) through 92(U).
- EDXRF is non-destructive. Generally samples can be returned in the same condition they arrive in.
- Concept Alloys provides fast turn-around time. Same day service available.
- Thorough evaluation of test results is provided by experienced chemical and metallurgical staff. Phone consultation before, during and after analysis is a standard part of our service.
- Reasonable cost. Projects are quoted in their entirety, not by the hour, to minimize cost overruns.
- Current customers benefit from substantial discounts from standard rates, and can obtain no cost service under some circumstances.
Typical Application Questions:
- Why do two lots of process chemicals look the same but act differently?
- This product failed prematurely. Why?
- We found this residue that is not normal. What is it?
- Does this raw material meet chemical specification?
- How do we know if all of these parts are the same?
- We have lost identification of this material. Can we reestablish it?
