Chemical Composition
(OP)
I need to buy an instrument to analize the quimical compotition of steels before welding.
The instrument is like a portable gun that makes an arc with the piece to be analize
Does anyone knows this instrument and how it is called?
Thanks

There pretty expensive devices (in the EU they can easily cost 35k euro's), and are not 100% accurate/reliable, but I believe theyre accurate enough to determine if a Chinese stainless steel pipe really complies with the certificate ... ;)
Ive seen them in action once and it's pretty impressive.

The Niton 'guns' use X-Ray Fluorescence, and leave no marks. But no carbon analysis.
