Solving Aluminum Challenges with Modern Characterization Tools

Evaluating Quality and Composition through Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry, Metallography and Hydrogen Analysis

Explore how modern characterization tools, Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry, metallography, and Hydrogen analysis, work together to solve common aluminum alloy challenges. Attendees will learn how combining compositional analysis, microstructural evaluation, and hydrogen measurement provides a picture of alloy quality, defect formation, and processing consistency. Discover how an integrated, multimethod approach strengthens grade verification, improves root cause investigations, and supports high performance aluminum manufacturing.
