Aeris Metals Edition

Description

Configured for metallurgical analysis, the Aeris Metals Edition is a compact XRD instrument from Malvern Panalytical. It is designed for the rapid mineralogical characterization of materials such as direct reduced iron, sinter, and for measuring retained austenite content in steels. The system employs a cobalt (Co) X-ray source and offers a choice between PIXcel 1D and PIXcel3D detectors. Its core mechanical component is a DOPS2 goniometer fitted with Heidenhain encoders for accurate angular positioning. The compact design integrates into laboratory or production line environments, featuring automation readiness with options for robotic sample loading and a six-position changer. The instrument's IP40 dust protection rating enhances its durability in industrial applications. Analysis can typically be completed within five minutes, providing swift feedback for quality control and process optimization in metal production.
