Steel inclusion analysis in the SEM is made more efficient and accurate by AZtecSteel.

AZtecSteel is an automated steel inclusion analysis package developed specifically for the analysis and classification of steel inclusions using Energy Dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDS) in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It detects, measures and analyses the inclusions, processes the resulting data set to published standard methods, and includes functionality to plot complex ternary diagrams.

Inclusion Classifier will determine steel cleanliness using the following published methods:

• ASTM E2142 (E45), E2283 and E796-7
• SIS 111116
• DIN 50602
• ISO 4967
• EN 10247
• JIS G0555
