LIBS Analyzers

LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy)

LIBS Analyzers use a high-focused laser to ablate the surface of a sample to determine the elemental composition of materials.

MFE Inspection Solutions handheld LIBS analyzers can measure key elements, such as carbon equivalency.

Carbon equivalency shows how material composition contributes to steel’s susceptibility to cold cracking (hydrogen cracking). Carbon equivalent calculations can be used to estimate the hardenability of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) in welding.
