Steel Manufacturing Information
Improve each stage of the steel production process
The iron and steel manufacturing process encompasses many applications to produce clean and ultraclean steel with improved mechanical properties that meets customer requirements. We have solutions for raw material quality control, process optimization, laboratory analysis, detecting potentially contaminated scrap metal, and air quality monitoring, all of which are needed to produce quality strip in a manner that maximizes mill yield and minimizes scrap while meeting specifications for thickness, width, hardness, and strength.

Ultra-Fast Inclusion Analysis with Spark-OES
Spark OES for the analysis of solid steel samples allows performing various types of inclusion related determinations in the time of a standard OES analysis.
The CB Omni analyzer uses Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) or Pulsed Fast Thermal Neutron Activation (PFTNA) to determine elemental concentration in bulk materials. The method is deeply penetrative and measures through many centimeters of material making it an ideal technology for real-time elemental analysis of bulk materials on conveyor belts.
