Sorting Aluminum Alloys with Handheld XRF ft Olympus Vanta Element S
มุมมอง 93หลายเดือนก่อน
The Olympus Vanta Element-S is a great entry level handheld XRF capable of sorting aluminum alloys. The Element-S is a variant of the Element that is capable of measuring light elements such as Al, Mg, Si, etc. In this video, we test a few common, and uncommon aluminum alloys including: 1050, 2195, 2055, 3105, 5052, 6061, and 6262.

    Did you say it has to be registered with the state? Interesting. Because it's an x ray? What are the rules to owning one? I came here from watching the Stanley cup being torn apart and wanted to know more about the instrument that was used. Just a knowledge sponge. Lol

    • @AlloyGeek
      @AlloyGeek หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, a handheld XRF like the one used in this video must be registered with your local state in the USA. They emit about as much xray as a dental xray. Local governments regulate them because xrays are invisible and the goal is to keep people from accidentally exposing themselves to xray. These devices are very cool! They allow you to see exactly what elemental composition (%) that is in any metal. They even tell you what the alloy is called! 😀

    • @AlloyGeek
      @AlloyGeek 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is not my area of expertise. It appears the lead (Pb) is in some sort of polymer matrix. It's unlikely washing in the dishwasher would lead to lead contamination since soap and water typically removes lead from surfaces. We can't say for sure if the lead will leach out without testing. If you hand wash you shouldn't have any issues.

      If you are using a Z-Series handheld LIBS unit you likely need to perform drift correction. See this video: th-cam.com/video/7znPZ6Xu6Rg/w-d-xo.html The second thing you can do is work on the cal factors for the instrument. This will come in a future video. For now, try the drift correction and see if that resolves your issue. If you're still seeing variation, you may need to take multiple readings and average them.

      Each LIBS unit has its own NOHD (safety distance). The SciAps Z901 (and other Z-Series LIBS units) have an NOHD of 13 meters. There are safety features built into each device to prevent errant firing. When the sample covers the analysis window completely, it contains the laser. Lastly, there has been no reports of anyone getting hurt with any handheld LIBS unit on the market.

    The handle for the Vanta GX is hidden under the front hood. It is just designed nicely not to stick out. The gold detection and karating of this unit work well too. I have another video where I shoot certified Reference materials with pretty darn good numbers. Plating detection on any XRF is limited to a depth of around 20um. This is more a limit of XRF technology and not a particular instrument. The Vanta GX is available in both pin-diode and Silicon Drift Detector (SDD).

    • @user-bn7dj9ij2u
      @user-bn7dj9ij2u 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I watched a movie with reference samples, and indeed, the measurements are very accurate. Was the device you used with Si-PIN or SDD detector? I think the handle should be for opening because when closing, you touch the external part of the housing with fingers and this part is painted. After a year of intensive use, the paint may wear off. We are talking about a device that costs around $25,000, not $1,000, so... Also, could you provide some insights into the camera quality? Is the image sharp and clear? In the video, it seems slightly blurry. These are high-end devices, and in my opinion, every detail should be perfected to achieve excellence.

      @@Maddoxd-vx9xs In 2024, I would expect pricing between $20,000-25,000 USD for this type of XRF. I recommend staying with an American company as the support and quality is much higher.

  • @user-bn7dj9ij2u
    @user-bn7dj9ij2u 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The device test, in my opinion, is not good. People who buy a spectrometer for around $25,000 mostly test gold, so you should focus on various gold samples in different types of jewelry and how the device performs in detecting gold-plated items. I had the chance to test an old Olympus GoldXpert, and it detected a gold Krugerrand as gold-plated. I'm not sure about this model, but it's exactly the same as the Vanta gun, a Linux-based system. So, perhaps they've improved something in detecting gold-plated items because that wasn't good in the old GoldXpert. Besides, it's unknown whether this version has the SDD or Si Pin detector. This should also be mentioned in the test. The higher purity in the center of the emblem probably results from significantly fewer impurities there, or it could be made from a different piece of gold. If the detector picks up dirt and tiny metal shavings that disrupt the measurement, it can show a lower reading. This surely has nothing to do with gravity. Moreover, before measurement, the tested fragment should be thoroughly cleaned if precise measurements are desired. Lastly, a device of this type should have a handle for opening, as seen in Fischer devices. Olympus didn't excel in this aspect, opting for the top part of the field version cover for the Vanta gun and presenting it as a new device.
