We will quantify the residual austenite using the principle of X-ray diffraction.
The residual austenite quantification service utilizes the principle of X-ray diffraction to quantify the residual austenite in the surface layer of steel materials. During the quenching of steel, the transformation from ferrite to martensite does not complete with cooling to room temperature, resulting in a mixed structure of quenched microstructure and untransformed austenite. Since residual austenite can cause a decrease in hardness and dimensional changes over time, it is important to understand and control its quantity.

basic information
The measurement range is a minimum of φ150μm and a maximum of φ4mm, with four adjustable intermediate levels. The penetration depth of X-rays depends on the material's density and the angle of incidence, but it is approximately several μm to several tens of μm.

Company information
Our main business is providing technical services to evaluate the reliability of developed products. We not only provide evaluation data in accordance with standards and regulations, but also propose optimal methods, conditions, and equipment for evaluation purposes, as well as design and manufacture original equipment and jigs for non-standard evaluations. Additionally, we handle three evaluation techniques—measurement, testing, and analysis—comprehensively, allowing us to offer complex services that span diverse equipment and suggest more multifaceted evaluation methods.
