BUSINESS
For immediate release:
Ductile Iron micro-analysis by thermal analysis
MeltLab
Systems is pleased to announce the release of a new module in their thermal
analysis system that measures and tracks many features now analyzed by time
consuming micro-analysis.
Fully
treated and inoculated ductile iron is poured into an industrial standard
non-tellurium thermal analysis cup, and the curve is analyzed in real time as
the iron solidifies. Results include nodularity, nodule count, chemical ferrite
(as opposed to loss of ferrite caused by insufficient cooling), carbides,
and shrinkage. The system not only includes the eutectic times G1 and G2 and
their ratio, but also determines if the curve is hypo-eutectic, eutectic, or
hyper-eutectic. A pass/fail graphic alerts operators on the nodularity status of
each sample.
This system is compatible with the same hardware as previous versions of MeltLab,
as well as newer systems running Windows XP. Pricing, including MeltLab
converter box, starts at $16,000 - but through Tax Day 2009, the price is
reduced $2,000! Using an existing MeltLab converter box will reduce costs even
further.
For
more information regarding system functions and capabilities, visit our web site
at www.meltlab.com or call (765) 521-3181.
