Nickel alloys are widely used in high-temperature, high-corrosion, and high-stress applications across industries such as aerospace, power generation, oil & gas, chemical processing, marine, and heavy engineering. These materials are selected for their exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability, making accurate chemical analysis essential at every stage of production.

Nickel-based alloys contain a complex mix of alloying elements including chromium, molybdenum, cobalt, iron, aluminium, titanium, niobium, and tungsten, each playing a critical role in determining mechanical properties and service life. At the same time, trace elements and impurities like carbon, sulphur, phosphorus, lead, and bismuth must be kept under tight control, as even small deviations can lead to cracking, reduced fatigue resistance, or failure in service.

Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) is the preferred technique for nickel alloy chemical composition analysis, supporting incoming material inspection, melt control, scrap segregation, and final quality certification. For nickel alloys, analytical stability, repeatability, and the ability to handle complex alloy matrices are key requirements to ensure consistent and reliable results in both production and quality control environments.

For nickel alloy testing and analysis, Gold Plus XL provides the performance and reliability required for accurate multi-element nickel alloy analysis, helping manufacturers meet international standards such as ASTM, AMS, ISO, and DIN with confidence.
