Quantometer analysis, or Spark Emission Spectroscopy (SES), is a fast and accurate method for analyzing metal alloys. It is widely used to determine the chemical composition of various alloys, including iron, aluminum, copper, nickel, and titanium alloys. The direct reading spectrometer offers a rapid, on-site solution for monitoring elemental composition during manufacturing. Detecting emission lines from excited atoms within seconds enables real-time alloy control before solidification or post-processing. A separate application note will describe the results obtained with fixed monochromator channels. These analytical chemistry standards present various test methods and techniques in determining the chemical composition of alloys and ores which include molecular absorption. With X-ray Spectroscopy, a beam of monochromatic X-rays (or electrons in the case of EDS) is used to excite the sample, and the emission photons detected with a solid state (multi-channel) detector that responds to the incident energies. XRF is generally considered a multiphase technique such that.
