This application note demonstrates how Massbox simplifies quality control for additive manufacturing feedstock powders.
It details a comparative study analyzing titanium powder samples, showing how the system quantifies metallic, trace, and low-mass elements in a single analytical session with results matching certified values and accredited laboratory data.
The document explains the Laser Ablation Laser Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (LALI-TOF-MS) technique and its advantages over traditional methods like ICP-OES, including simplified sample preparation, faster analysis times, and the ability to measure difficult elements like hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen without requiring trained chemists or clean lab environments.
