Analysis and forecast of the five major metals in 2020

Technological innovation continues to push the market for high-tech analytical solutions forward

For metal analysis, the following are five predictions that will change the development prospects in 2020 :

1.

With the tightening of industry regulations, the complexity of supply chains, and the increasing use of scrap as basic materials, foundries and metal manufacturers must control the content of impurities and trace elements within the lowest ppm range

Likewise, if you are striving to achieve the highest accuracy, especially using your own direct reading spectrometer ( OES ) for this purpose, type standardization may be just what you need

2.

We believe that the industry will continue to focus on quality, especially 100% PMI in the metal manufacturing industry .

We offer many spectrometers to choose from, and we understand that many companies are paying close attention to the different available analysis technologies— LIBS , OES, and XRF— and the results they achieve

Similarly, in many countries, such as the United States, small and medium-sized enterprises have tax breaks, so it is necessary to take advantage of these opportunities

3.

We have seen the development of handheld laser technology.

However, based on our experience, handheld LIBS cannot provide you with the accuracy required for high-confidence low-carbon steel identification and sorting in harsh environments

This year, we discussed the comparison between LIBS and mobile OES spectrometers, and considerations when you want to buy a handheld LIBS spectrometer that can perform carbon analysis to help you make the right choice for your organization

4.

The latest technology among the three technologies-the rise of laser analyzers (laser induced breakdown spectroscopy) will play a greater role in metal analysis

Most hand-held LIBS spectrometers are used for rapid sorting of alloys in scrap yards, incoming material inspection, 100% PMI, and alloy identification and analysis in various applications in the metal industry

5.

In the past ten years, we have fully understood that data has become a key resource for enterprises, and the metal industry is no exception
.
Although a lot of investment has been made in the process control and optimization of this industry, it has been behind the banking and media industries in the application of new digital technology for many years
.

Nonetheless, analytics, mobile solutions, and automation innovations that can bring huge benefits are evolving rapidly
