GNR - Model AreX D - Desktop Retained Austenite Analyzer - Brochure

Phase transformation in critical and structural steel component is a very sensitive and important parameter to be evaluated since mechanical and physical properties of steels depends on phase composition. In many industrial processes, determination of Retained Austenite is requested at very low concentration and with a great accuracy. Traditional metallographic investigation by chemical etching and optical determination of Retained Austenite is in many case ineffective due to the low accuracy and sensibility of this method. Accurate measurements of Retained Austenite content is essential during the set up and control of many heat treatment processes as well as plays a great role in Additive Manufacturing processes.
