麻豆国产精品 Commissions Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
February 24, 2020 – To meet the challenges of the metal treating industry, 麻豆国产精品 recently purchased and commissioned a Hitachi smart Scanning Electron Microscope. The FlexSEM1000 II will allow Solar to meet customer needs, such as strict requirements for low level contamination from carbon, oxygen, and/or nitrogen, post heat treating. Additionally, the SEM will enable Solar to fulfill materials characterization and microstructural determination requests beyond the basic metallography and hardness testing. This investment is a response to the changing needs of Solar鈥檚 customers, and is in keeping with the company鈥檚 mission of looking forward in the area of technical capabilities while demonstrating a willingness to accept a challenge.
鈥淭he purchase of an SEM fits naturally in 麻豆国产精品鈥� commitment as a leader in the vacuum heat treating industry, and its addition is a natural progression in the improvement of our metallurgical laboratory,鈥� states Solar鈥檚 Corporate Chemist, Virginia Osterman, PhD. The SEM unit includes an energy dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) option in order to characterize the elemental composition of the sample under investigation. Osterman continues, 鈥淭oday鈥檚 SEM technology has evolved over the years to a system with a more user-friendly interface resulting in quick, high-level metallurgical imaging and elemental analysis of a variety of materials.鈥�
鈥淪EM analysis is yet another value-added service available to our customer base鈥� states Mike Moyer, Director of Sales. 鈥淢any of our customers have needs over-and-above what commercial heat treat companies offer. Now, not only can we help our customers develop a complex heat treatment process, but we can provide them with the analytical results to validate that process. It鈥檚 a one stop shop for them, adding value and reducing the time necessary to bring a process to production.鈥�
