This case study showcases how LIFT, operated by the American Lightweight Materials Manufacturing Innovation Institute, acquired Massbox to bring state-of-the-art chemical analysis directly into their metrology lab.
The document details their search for alternatives to traditional ICP-OES and ICP-MS systems. It demonstrates Massbox's capabilities through a detailed nickel weld analysis on 4041-alloy steel, illustrating elemental mapping, depth profiling, and the ability to characterize weld gradients and substrate dilution.
The case study explains how LIFT's 340+ members across the Department of Defense, industry, and academia now access comprehensive chemical characterization without investing in full clean laboratories or specialized chemistry staff.
