In part three of this three-part series, the suite of tools available for PMI has grown.

In part two of this three-part series, we learn more about the advantages of positive material identification (PMI) testing.

In part one of this three-part series, we explore why PMI is a vital nondestructive testing method for quality assurance and safety.

HH-XRF can help manufacturers to streamline their quality control processes and ensure materials meet the requirements for demanding applications.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our daily lives on an unprecedented global scale. The need to alter our way of life to try to mitigate and contain the virus has made us press pause on everything we take for granted, from visiting family and friends to travelling to work and business continuity.

With the increasing regulations in safety, reliability, traceability, and regulatory compliance, material verification has become an essential component in a safety and reliability program.

Current trends for quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures in metal manufacturing plants are becoming more stringent. The need for 100% measurements for alloy verification is frequently becoming part of these procedures.

Handheld XRF (HHXRF) is the go-to tool for QA/QC, alloy identification and failure analysis of incoming and in-use standard industrial metals and alloys. Advancements in technology and data analysis software now make it an indispensable tool for non-standard and challenging QA/QC situations.
