Standard calibration samples for quantometers are samples used to start up and calibrate spectrometer devices (quantometry). These samples must be fully homogeneous in chemical composition and have minimal segregation of alloying elements.
These samples are produced by casting, and since casting always has the possibility of chemical segregation and non-uniformity, the production technology must ensure completely homogeneous and uniform samples.
Razi Metallurgy Research Center has been the first and only producer of reference samples in the country since 2003, and in 2016-2017 also succeeded in patenting the production of standard steel and non-ferrous samples. Currently, the range of produced alloys is much broader, covering a wide variety of industrial alloys including various carbon and stainless steels, manganese steels, gray and ductile cast irons, Ni-Hard and Ni-Resist cast irons, brasses and bronzes, aluminum alloys, zinc-based alloys, and superalloys.
The produced samples are analyzed using advanced methods, and after verifying the chemical and structural composition and ensuring accuracy and homogeneity, a certificate for each sample is issued.
These samples are produced using medium-frequency induction furnaces with 5 and 25 kg capacities, as well as vacuum melting and casting furnaces with 5 kg capacity and electromagnetic stirrers in special molds. The design technology ensures the homogeneity and uniformity of the samples.
