Customer Success Story Summary

Avantes Spectrometer Powers Real-Time Molten Metal Analysis with LIBS Technology

A major supplier to metal producers around the world builds systems using LIBS to  monitor bathing processes for galvanization.  Featuring  an Avantes spectrometer as the detector in their advanced Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analyzer—the system brings real-time elemental analysis from the lab directly to the production line.

At the heart of this breakthrough is the Avantes high-performance spectrometer, which delivers the speed, sensitivity, and high resolution required to analyze molten metal in the harshest environments. This direct measurement through a specialized ceramic probe which is submersed into molten metal provides for real time monitoring eliminating the need for reliance on temperature data or predictive models.

This innovative setup allows the customer to monitor multi-element chemistry in real time, significantly reducing turnaround time, improving process control, and ensuring consistent alloy quality. With the Avantes spectrometer as a critical component, the LIBS system delivers lab-grade results on the production floor—enhancing operational efficiency and product reliability.
