The Thermo Scientific™ ARL iSpark Plus Inclusion Analyzer with Spark-DAT technology provides ultra-fast and comprehensive analysis of non-metallic inclusions in steel. It enables simultaneous determination of elemental composition and inclusion characteristics within a single spark OES measurement. This capability allows near real-time monitoring of inclusion content during steel production, supporting process optimization, improved product quality, and prevention of costly issues such as nozzle clogging during continuous casting.
Designed as a complete solution for steelmaking applications, the analyzer integrates advanced optical design, high-sensitivity detection, and dedicated software tools to evaluate inclusion type, size, concentration, and volume fraction.
