Chemistry & Chemical Engineering

Chemistry labs use XRF to triage samples — catalyst supports, precipitates, and coated particles — reducing ICP queue time for graduate students.

Learn more

Mechanical & Manufacturing

Mechanical engineering groups verify alloys on failed parts, welded joints, and 3D-printed metals before microscopy and mechanical testing.

Learn more

Civil & Construction Materials

Civil programs study durability, corrosion, and structural materials — XRF confirms rebar grades and screens coatings and aggregates for heavy metals.
