Industrial Alloy Sorting with the X-MET8000 Smart

The Hitachi X-MET8000 Smart is built for fast alloy identification and metal sorting in scrapyards, fabrication facilities, machine shops, and industrial inspection environments.

The analyzer performs especially well on:

• Stainless steels
• Nickel alloys
• Copper alloys
• Brass
• Bronze
• Tool steels
• Low alloy steels
• Titanium alloys
• Cobalt alloys
• High-temperature alloys

With rapid startup, simple operation, and extensive onboard alloy libraries, operators can identify materials in seconds and reduce costly sorting mistakes.

The analyzer includes more than 1,600 preloaded alloy grades across AISI, DIN, JIS, and GB standards. Users can also add custom alloy libraries and proprietary grades.

Precious Metals Testing

The X-MET8000 Smart can also be used for non-destructive precious metals analysis and precious metals verification.

Users commonly analyze:

• Gold
• Silver
• Platinum
• Palladium
• Jewelry alloys
• Precious metal scrap

The analyzer delivers fast chemistry results and customizable reporting for buyers, refiners, recyclers, pawn shops, and precious metals processors. Results can be exported through USB, WiFi, or Bluetooth for recordkeeping and transaction documentation.

Catalytic Converter Recycling

The Hitachi X-MET8000 Smart is also commonly used in catalytic converter recycling operations for identifying substrate materials and supporting converter processing workflows.

Typical applications include:

• Converter material screening
• Stainless steel shell identification
• Metal verification
• Scrap sorting support
• Recycling yard alloy identification

For advanced PGM analysis and specialized catalytic converter chemistry workflows, customers may also consider higher-end XRF configurations depending on the level of elemental sensitivity required.

Important Note About Aluminum Alloy Sorting

The X-MET8000 Smart is optimized primarily for routine alloy identification involving heavier alloying elements.

If your operation requires advanced aluminum alloy sorting or light element analysis involving magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), phosphorus (P), or sulfur (S), consider upgrading to the:

• Hitachi X-MET8000 Optimum
• Hitachi X-MET8000 Expert

These higher-end models provide significantly improved light element performance for advanced aluminum alloy separation and specialty alloy analysis applications.
