Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a powerful technique for rapid, real-time elemental analysis of metals and alloys. At Avantes, we offer high-resolution, modular spectrometer systems designed to meet the speed, sensitivity, and durability requirements of LIBS applications in the metals industry. Whether you’re identifying alloy grades, verifying material composition, or conducting quality control in harsh environments, our customizable LIBS solutions deliver precise and reliable results.
From scrap metal sorting to process control in foundries and steel plants, Avantes’ LIBS-ready spectrometers are trusted by researchers and manufacturers worldwide for accurate metals analysis.
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.
