Optical Emission Spectrometer
Chemical Analysis of Cast Iron Materials
The new SpectroMAXx uses the very latest in digital technology to provide very accurate analysis of metals, quickly and efficiently.
The instrument is very user-friendly and easy to operate. With this in mind, a purpose-built laboratory has been established in the melting plant, allowing the Furnacemen to analyse every melt before releasing it for casting.

Analysis
With all melts analysed before casting, any necessary adjustments to the analysis can be identified, and the amount of corrective alloys can be calculated using the integrated “Charge correction” software built into the instrument.
Using the latest in software, the results of each analysis are stored not only on the instrument but on the company’s main computer system, so that analytical certificates can be produced quickly and efficiently. The software also allows for many types of statistical process control to be performed.
Chemical analysis is used to confirm that cast iron meets the required composition before and during production. This ensures that material properties remain consistent and aligned with the specification.
Testing is conducted to verify key material properties, supporting both quality assurance and traceability. This is particularly important for applications where performance and reliability are critical.
