QuiK-Spec® y QuiK-Lab®: su vínculo clave con el análisis instantáneo
La necesidad cada vez mayor de producir aceros de alta calidad con menores niveles de fósforo y menos emisiones de CO2 obliga a las acerías a reinventar su proceso de conversión. Lo fundamental es conocer más rápidamente la composición del acero durante este proceso.
Las unidades espectrales QuiK-Lab® de Heraeus Electro-Nite proporcionan un análisis rápido y fiable de los elementos más importantes, como el carbono, el fósforo, el manganeso y el azufre, un minuto después de la inmersión durante el tratamiento en el convertidor.
ALULAB is a mobile LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) analyzer that allows to quantify concentrations of elements that are critical for process control of primary Aluminum (Fe, Si, Cu, Na) on the shop floor. QUSAL is a preparation-free sampling system developed to work seamlessly with Alulab. It enables direct analysis of samples without the need for surface preparation.
Sampling is performed using a dedicated re-usable sampling lance, eliminating the need for operators to handle liquid aluminum directly—enhancing both safety and efficiency.
The entire process—from sampling to receiving analytical results—can be completed in approximately 60 seconds, enabling real-time decision-making on the shop floor.
Rapid Elemental Analysis
Achieve precise elemental breakdown in one minute, eliminating delays and enhancing process efficiency.
Enhanced Process Control
Real-time data enables tighter control over critical elements such as Iron (Fe) & Silicon (Si), ensuring optimal alloy composition and quality.
Improved Safety
Eliminating the need to handle liquid aluminum from the bath—minimizing operator risk and enhancing workplace safety.
Preservation of Volatile Elements
Instant sample freezing prevents loss of volatile elements like Sodium (Na), ensuring accurate readings.
Elimination of Segregation
Rapid solidification avoids solute element segregation, delivering a more representative sample for analysis.
