7 About Applications and Industries

8 Fast and accurate verification of critical materials (PMI) on different industries X-MET5100 and X-MET5000 enable accurate and faster verification of critical materials in the PMI testing process along the whole metal manufacturing supply chain - inspection of incoming goods testing during production and manufacturing of goods Important tool in routine maintenance when building up a power plant or petrochemical plant

9 Field conditions are tough on PMI tools! An analyzer must be able to measure the alloying elements at very low concentrations (e.g. Ti in stainless steels at the level of 0.05%) Material range is often very wide. The analyzer must be robust and easy to use Fast, accurate results are a pre-requisite For most applications calibration of the unit must be traceable For these reasons EDXRF is the preferred measurement technique when carbon or boron measurement is not required OI has now the range of highly productive mobile testing tools for these specific needs of both PMI inspectors and scrap sorters.

10 ujjbqrnmm - New PMI applications for hand-held analysis X-MET5100 elemental detection limits enable ppm level analysis in just 10 seconds This level of performance improves productivity and opens up new applications for hand-held analysis X-MET5100 can rapidly perform challenging trace element analysis such as FAC inspection (Cr in low alloy steels) in the nuclear power industry and QC of microalloyed steels used in the automotive industry.

11 X-MET Revolutionary Light Element analysis without vacuum or helium bottles X-MET5100 provides fast, highly accurate laboratory quality chemical analysis of Aluminum and Titanium alloys It reliably analyzes Light Elements such as silicon and phosphorus from copper, nickel and steel alloys Powerful Light Element capability combined with the nondestructive nature of the XRF technique makes X-MET5100 an invaluable tool or the aerospace industry where often finished or sensitive samples need to be analyzed The efficient Light Element capability provides added confidence for accurately identify nickel and copper alloys which may contain large amounts of aluminum and silicon.

12 X-MET Light Element Analysis Typical examples where light element capability brings most value: Separation of cast and wrought aluminium alloys (based on the Si content) Identification of 5000 series alloys (based on Mg content) in marine and automotive applications Distinguishing 4000 series from the 1000, 5000 or 6061 alloys (based on Si content) Distinguishing titanium alloys which are differentiated by their aluminium content Ensuring correct Cu analysis and ID for Al/Si bronzes (Bronzes may contain up to 6% Si and 12% Al) Ensuring correct Ni content for Al containing Nickels (Ni alloys such as Monel K500, Inco 713, Inco 730 contain up to 6% Al General limitations of the light element analysis: Thin 4µm protective window needs to be used, which is more fragile than standard 25µm Kapton window Accurate light element analysis requires flat and clean sample surface, this may restrict the use in applications like scrap sorting Measured Light Elements: Aluminum LE: Mg, Al, Si Titanium LE: Al Copper LE: Al, Si, P Nickel LE: Al, Si Stainless LE: Si, S Low Alloy LE: Si, P, S Universal standardless FP calibration for alloys (Mg- U)

13 The analyzer of choice in all conditions, on-site or in-field The material to be inspected can be difficult to access (e.g. a refinery platform) X-METs are battery operated, compact, robust and withstands harsh use The material to be inspected can be hot (e.g. like a tube in a power plant) Integrated heat shield allows the measurement of hot test piece surfaces for extended periods - up to 400 C / 750 F - X-MET5000 (X-MET5100 thick window version only, light elements then not available) The weld material often needs to be verified from narrow seam (material around the seam must be excluded) X-METs enable the analysis of narrow weld seams down to 2 mm

14 Analyze large or small samples structures like bolts, thin tubes or honeycomb in seconds just point and shoot X-MET compensates for the shape of sample Inspect pipes and welds for corrosion resistance and pressure equipment for alloy composition Wires of less than 1mm in diameter can be identified in seconds Avoid material mix-ups High speed averaging function up to 50 successive measurements for fast effortless batch evaluation

15 PMI Cannot be Easier 1) Name your sample 2) Measure it 3) Produce the PMI report A practically unlimited number of grades can be stored in the analyzer Recording of results can be automated if required Results can be read by a PC An unlimited number of results can be stored for further processing Positive Material Identification

25 Three modes of operation N Empirical Assay Calibration mode produces fast, accurate analysis even at low concentrations. Traceable reference standards establish the calibration. O Fundamental Parameters (FP) is a universal standardless calibration where practically any combination of physically measurable element can be analyzed with good accuracy. FP can measure up to 30 elements between Mg-U (X-MET5100) and Ti-U (X-MET5000) regardless of concentration. P PASS/FAIL mode offers a convenient, fast way to sort material e.g. during delivery inspection These three modes run smoothly together even when the user has no information about the material s composition.
