XRF Detectors for light alloys- limit of detection
XRF Detectors for light alloys- limit of detection
(OP)
A new XRF from Niton is being proposed for a group company, manufacturing sacrificial anodes Al-In alloy.I have limited experience and knowledge about the accuracy and reliability of this instrument. Presently ,OES is being used by the foundry.I would like to know:
a) If such an instrument is recommended for a production foundry, as a replacement to OES.
b) The accuracy and reliability of such results.
Any other experiences or comments are welcome. Thanks in anticipation.

Not as a replacement for OES.

Will the results from a PMI , be accepted by 3rd party inspectors or used for dispute resolution?
I am confused (perhaps old school mental block).

But a hand held, no way.
All XRF is comparative, you must have good standards that bracket your ranges and contain all interfering elements.
OE requires standards also, but there is generally less interference.
