Bruker G6 LEONARDO (ONH)

ECOnomic Quality and Process Control by Inert Gas Fusion.

The three non-metals Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N) and Hydrogen (H) determine the quality, service life and mechanical properties of all metallic materials. Unlike metallic alloy components, the amount of O, N and H sometimes changes considerably along the entire process chain, from the production of raw materials to the completion of the finished product. Even when present in trace amounts, O, N and H have a very critical effect on the material properties.

The G6 LEONARDO is based on the inert gas fusion (IGF), which involves fusion of the sample material in a graphite crucible at high temperatures. This principle is also commonly termed gas fusion analysis (GFA) or melt extraction (ME) since the total oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen is extracted by an inert carrier gas when the sample melts.

The Smart Molecule Sequence™ guarantees trustworthy results.

The aim of an IGF analysis is to determine the sample content of the light elements O, N and H in the trace range with absolute accuracy. That is why our G6 LEONARDO applies the Smart Molecule Sequence™ and measures the gases emitted by the sample directly, absolutely unchanged, 1:1, with proven scientific principles for trustworthy results. It also allows oxygen determination without additional chemicals, and usage of argon carrier gas instead of helium ensuring high reliability and low cost of ownership.
