Product news
HORIBA Jobin Yvon has developed a turnkey product for evaluating the quality of the heat treatment process.
This product, the GD PROFILER HTP, is the result of more than 30 years of experience in glow discharge spectrometry (GDS). GDS provides rapid depth profiles of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and other elements to better control heat treatment processes. The chemical composition complements the mechanical tests usually made in the metallurgical industry. The targeted applications are notably automotive parts, gears, windmills, etc. The GD PROFILER HTP will be available in February 2009.

Atomic Absorption / Emission SpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) — also called optical emission spectroscopy (OES) — are used to detect the elemental constituents in samples. Both techniques involve the atomization of a sample. Atomic absorption spectrometers may use a flame or furnace to create an atomic vapor of the sample before irradiation with spectral light. Optical emission spectrometers may use a flame, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), microwave plasma (MP) or spark arcs to atomize and excite the sample. At higher excitation energies, electrons can be emitted instead of photons, which can be useful for samples that can’t be atomized and for surface analysis. Explore electron spectroscopy equipment such as Auger spectrometers and photoelectron spectrometers for surface elemental analysis of samples.
