    Vehicle Safety

    Good morning to all: I am currently working in the safety industry for cars, we work with different kinds of passive safety systems. I think that there are several information that can be shared about it, doubts that may be discussed and solutions that may be found. I am referring to things...

    Well, maybe i make the question confusing. I know that EDS is that, but i was referring about 2 different equipments. I have knew one that conduct the analysis measuring the light's wave length and relating it with the element (that's why a said optical). And the most common (at least is the one...

    What is the main difference in the results get with an EDS (optical system) and an EDX (x-ray)? I mean, they give you similar reads, but reading different energies. Are the results the same? In the other hand, i already have some quotes for the SEMs. I'm really interested in the Zeiss EVO-MA...

    Good advices, thanks to all for your comments. Im already considering all of them. In the elemental analysis, did you have worked with Mg samples? Do you know if same result is get for it with EDS system and atomic absorption method? I have alloys where Mg is aroung 98% of them. I heard that...

    Right!, just are missing to add the thickness gauges. We are not requiring that measurements to frequent but i will review costs, maybe is shipper to buy the equipment than some services. Not metal impact in the scope neither polymer analysis (by now).

    Yes, we already have 2 universal testers. We just dont have the clamps, but they are already considered. For the chemical analysis, i was considering the EDS from Broker and Spectro; according them, these do not needs calibration just some easy "adjustments", i have quoted and with 70 outsource...

    Did someone have developed a metallurgical laboratory from nothing? I am working on that, our business is considering this and im who will justify the cost. I have visited some suppliers and determined what we need based in current external analysis; by now I have included stereomicroscope &...

    SEM-EDS opinion

    I have reviewed that thread, very useful, unfourtanetely it is closed. So i will have a new question here. I have listed as required stereomicroscope, metallurgical microscope, EDS and SEM. But, is it posible to conduct all the analysis that previous equipments allow with just a SEM...

    SEM-EDS opinion

    Ok, thanks for the answer. Thats what i have read about the FE-SEM, but i did not know that costs difference were so high... looks like SEM is winning, i will review the quotes anyway. saludos.

    SEM-EDS opinion

    Hello! I am getting new in the metallurgy technical details, and I have some doubts in the SEM and EDS. I am considering the EDS SpectroMax, did somebody have used it? Is it better the SpectroLab model? In the EDS, im considering the Zess, Hitachi, FEI and Jeol. Do you have some experience with...
