EDAX LAUNCHES COATING ANALYSIS SOFTWARE FOR ORBIS MICRO-XRF ANALYZER
|
|
Release Date: Friday, September 09, 2011
MAHWAH, NJ – EDAX Inc., a leader in micro X-ray fluorescence, has introduced its X-ray coating analysis software module for the Orbis micro-XRF elemental analyzer system. With coating analysis software, the Orbis provides simultaneous multi-layer film thickness and composition analyses for metal, oxide, nitride and carbide coatings as well as coatings that contain elements within the observable range of the Orbis system. Typical applications include analysis of electrical contact coatings for electronics, magnetic media and semiconductors; anti-corrosion and wear coatings for aerospace and automotive components; and RoHS analysis of solder coatings.
The Orbis coating analysis software is based on EDAX’s patented fundamental parameter software for bulk quantification. EDAX X-ray coating analysis software simplifies material analysis by providing results without standards and improves accuracy with minimal standards input. The software has the ability to measure thicknesses in the range from 1nm to 50 µm for up to 5 layers with multiple elements in each layer. The software and result reporting are consistent with EN ISO 3497 and ASTM B568.
“We are excited about the addition of this new analytical capability to our Orbis product line. It enables our customers to leverage the speed and sensitivity of their system to characterize complex coating structures quickly and accurately,” comments Bruce Scruggs, Technical Product Manager for the Orbis line.
The software is available as an option with the purchase of a new Orbis system and as an upgrade to existing system owners.
EDAX is the acknowledged leader in Energy Dispersive Microanalysis, Electron Backscatter Diffraction and X-ray Fluorescence instrumentation.
