The Thermo Scientific Explorer 4 with MQA software is a
fourth-generation analyzer that uses scanning electron mi-
croscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) for
quality analysis such as the size, shape, number and elemen-
tal composition of non-metallic inclusions in metals.
According to the company, these inclusions play a major
role in determining the properties and quality of metals. Too
many, too few or the wrong composition, and the product
will not perform at specification. Some inclusions also can
clog nozzles in the production process,
leading to downtime and potential
loss. This system can automatically
characterize thousands of inclusions
per hour to provide a statistical foun-
dation for critical production deci-
sions, the company says.
