Non-Ferrous

Spectrometer Services has a vast array of capabilities for analysing non-ferrous materials made possible with modern instrumentation and wet-chemistry facilities.  

We routinely analyse complex materials of all types of matrices both metallic and non-metallic and can provide levels of constituents from ppm through to major percentages.

Materials analysed include:

  • Copper alloys
  • Aluminium alloys
  • Magnesium alloys
  • Titanium alloys
  • Lead and Tin alloys
  • Nickel alloys
  • Zinc alloys
  • Precious metal alloys
  • Refractories and Ceramics
  • Glass
  • Clays and Sands
  • Minerals and Ores
  • Plastics
  • Paper and Pulp
  • Coal and Ash
  • Oils, Paints and Petroleum products

We also have equipment for total carbon/sulphur/nitrogen by combustion, programmable loss-on-ignition and automatic titration.

Turnaround times are dependent on the wet-chemistry requirements but are usually 3 – 5 days for most materials.  An express service is available for routine analysis of samples where complex preparation is not required.
