Bruker G8 GALILEO (ONH)

Matching the best ONH method – Inert Gas Fusion – with the ideal ONH systems.

With the G8 GALILEO analysers, Bruker is the only company to offer fully integrated ONH solutions, combining the benefits of multiple dedicated systems without any analytical compromise or technical limitations. The G8 GALILEO applies the Smart Molecule Sequence™ for direct measurement of all emitted gases and real 1:1 information – without chemical transformations, mathematical corrections or unpublished algorithms. FusionControl, the ongoing contact free temperature measurement of the sample ensures the right analysis temperature, avoiding formation of interfering products and increasing stability and uptime.

Options for automatic sample and crucible handling, electrode cleaning and automatic gas dose calibration are available. When equipped with the unique IR-furnace of the G4 PHOENIX, performs reliable diffusible, residual and total hydrogen measurements and complies to ISO 360 and AWS A4.3 standards for welding.

Why do I need Inert Gas Fusion Analysis?

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. Similar applies to argon inclusions, introduced at trace level during metal powder production by atomization that will remain in the final product.

Acquiring kinetic information about diffusible hydrogen and its damaging mechanisms are further examples with actual backgrounds like development of new generations of high strengths steels, materials suitable for hydrogen storage or biomedical implants.
