Welding Analysis Using Handheld XRF: The Best Nondestructive Material Identification for Welds

Welding analysis using handheld XRF is a fast, nondestructive testing (NDT) technique to confirm the proper filler material is being used to weld alloys, and to help avoid defects.  Using the correct grade of alloy is crucial to creating a successful weld. Despite certification, alloy mix-ups still occur. Verification of the appropriate filler material can be obtained with the S1 SORTER or the S1 TURBO in seconds.  Find out how to identify your weld material with the Bruker S1 SORTER and S1 TURBO!

Benefits:

  • Decipher the optimum filler by analyzing all of the components in the weldment
  • PMI (Positive Material Identification) incoming weld material to confirm it matches specifications prior to installation
  • Alloy verification of completed joints during final inspection
  • Verification of in-process material and all components; plates, pipe, sleeves etc.

Employing the Weld Adapter to taper the analytical window ensures the base metal does not interfere while analyzing thin weld beads.

  • Analyze welding rods
  • Spools of material
The Weld Collimator limits the field of view of the analyzer so that thin welds can be measured without interference of the base metal

In an environment where structural integrity relies on welding, it is critical to have confidence in the welds and welding material.  Analyze incoming alloys before any welding takes place.  Verify in-situ welds during inspection procedures.  Send us a query now to find out how the Bruker S1 SORTER and S1 TURBO can provide you with the dependability for your welding analysis needs/PMI program!
