Alloy QA/QC in the Aerospace Industry
Since human lives depend on the proper performance of aircraft components, material verification for aerospace materials becomes a critical issue. A mix-up on a spacecraft or commercial satellite can mean millions of dollars and years of wasted effort, while on a commercial aircraft it can prove disastrous, taking a human toll.
Thermo Scientific Niton XRF analyzers are purpose-built to provide the highest quality analysis and verification necessary for the full range of aerospace alloys.
- Fast, nondestructive verification of high-temp, nickel, titanium, aluminum alloys & superalloys
- Light element analysis with GOLDD™ technology for full analysis of aluminum and titanium alloys
- Confirmation of presence/absence of high-purity Sn - prevent Sn whiskers before they start
- Identify Se, Cd, and Zn coatings for space applications - don't let them sublimate in a vacuum
