Proper use of the test stand can effectively shield scattered radiation
Use bench top test stand: Hold the analyzer and align the analyzer window with the bottom window of the test stand, push upward. After hearing a "click" sound, the instrument is fixed in place, put the sample to be tested into the analyzer window, and cover the box to start testing.
Allows hands-free measurement of samples. Completely shielded to protect the operator from any scattered radiation.
Folds up for easy transport and portability. Allows hands-free measurement of samples. Completely shielded to protect the operator from any scattered radiation.
A flexible and robust shield attaches to the analyzer’s cone, protecting the operator from any backscattered X ray during analysis.
Carbon fiber anti-puncture windows can be used to effectively protect the window film from damage by irregular samples testing.
Keep the detector window safe during use. As one of the core components of the instrument, the detector is mainly used to receive Xfluorescence signals and distinguish them according to different energies. The window of the detector is metal Be, and the interior is a vacuum part. The thickness of the Be window is about 13um. If it is damaged by external force, it will be irreversible.
Be careful not to drop it during use. When you go out to work, tie the wrist strap to prevent damage to the screen of the instrument or damage to the internal components of the instrument.
When storing and using the instrument, try to avoid being too close to strong magnetic fields. Strong magnetic fields can affect the life of electronic components.
The instrument will generate a certain amount of X-rays, which should be used in accordance with the instructions for use of the instrument.
Currently there are a number of aerospace alloys, including Al- and Mg-, Ni-, Co- and Ti-based alloys. In aluminum-based alloys, Al is the predominate metal in the system along with alloying elements such as copper, zinc, manganese, silicon and magnesium.
Two main classifications of Al-based alloys are cast and wrought alloys, both of which are subdivided into heat-treatable and non-heat-treatable categories. More than 80% of Al alloys are produced by the wrought process in the form of rolled sheets and foils because of their higher strength and lower density.
The following Al alloys are commonly used in aircraft and other aerospace applications (helicopters and spacecraft): 7075, 6061, 6063, 2024 and 5052. Among these, the 7075 Al alloy is most preferred by the aircraft industry. The composition of this specific Al alloy is 5.1–6.1% zinc, 2.1–2.9% magnesium, 1.2–2.0% copper and less than 0.5% of silicon, iron, manganese, titanium, chromium and other trace metals.9
Aluminum alloys are widely used in aircraft fuselages and other engineering structures and compounds in which light weight and corrosion resistance are highly desired.
In addition to Al-based alloys, specially designed alloys make it possible for the aircraft industry to produce high-strength parts for jet engines and airframes where high pressure, temperature and vibration are greatly considered during their design and manufacturing.
Stainless steel, titanium, nickel, copper and their alloys are the major components of aerospace alloys utilized for engine blocks, providing high strength and/or the ability to perform at extremely high temperatures. The ratio of engine power to weight, airframe strength and many other factors drastically affect jet performance. Also, these alloys are designed to be strong, resistant to corrosion and able to maintain their integrity at any temperature.
As we all know, for the aerospace Industry, passengers’ lives rely upon the right overall performance of plane components,therefore testing for aerospace substances will become a crucial issue. A mixup on a spacecraft or business satellite wil cost and wasted a lot of effort, whilse on a business plane it could be disastrous.

Aerospace applications demand high-precision parts that are oxidation and corrosion resistant, and have surface finishes that are free of defects. This is due in part to the extremely high temperatures at which these parts must function. Aircraft engines run at such extreme temperatures to burn fuel efficiently. Gas turbine blades are made of nickel-based superalloys for their tolerance to high temperatures as well as their strength and wear resistance.
Turbines are then coated with Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) to protect the base metal from operating environment. TBC makes it possible to increase the operating temperature of gas turbines. Turbine blade repair requires removal of the TBC coating without damaging the base metal. Handheld XRF can be useful in this application because it can determine TBC coating thickness for either the coating removal process or the recoating process.
Nickel is also used in the aerospace industry because it can be made to plate with little or no stress and is therefore appropriate for applications where stress needs to be minimized.
Cadmium coatings are also commonly used in the aerospace industry.They are applied to bolts and other fasteners, chassis, connectors, and other components and provide excellent corrosion resistance, good lubricity, electrical conductivity, and easy solderability.
Aerospace programs call for excessive-precision elements which are oxidation and corrosion resistant, and feature floor finishes which are freed from defects. This is due in element to the extraordinarily excessive temperatures at which those elements should function. Aircraft engines run at such intense temperatures to burn fuel efficiently. Gas turbine blades are product of nickel based superalloys for the tolerance to excessive temperatures in addition to their power and wear resistance. Turbines are then lined with Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) to defend the base metallic from running environment. TBC makes it feasible to growth the running temperature of turbines. Turbine blade reparis calls for elimination of the TBC coating without detrimental the bottom metallic.
Handheld XRF may be beneficial on this utility due to the fact it could decide TBC coating thickness for both the coating elimination procedure or the re-coating procedure.
Nickel is likewise used withinside the aerospace fields due to the fact it could be made to plate with very little pressure and is consequently suitable for programs wherein pressure desires to be minimized.
Cadmium coatings also are typically used inside the aerospace fields.They are applied to bolts and different fasteners, chassis, connectors, and different additives and offer splendid corrosion resistance, suitable lubricity, electric conductivity, and smooth solderability.
Non-destructive nature: The alloy isn`t affected during the test, which means that it doesn`t lose its commercial value.
Fast and accurate research: It takes only a few seconds to get the result that will display the grade and elements concentration of the components.
Safety: Firstly lower exposure to x-rays. Secondly, an alloy analyzer has several safety protection to minimize the impact.
