LIBS Analyzer TT-LIBS-C
The LIBS Analyzer TT-LIBS-C is a high-performance laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) system designed for fast and reliable elemental analysis of metal materials. It combines laser-induced breakdown technology with advanced spectral analysis methods to deliver accurate results in real time. The instrument is lightweight and portable, making it well suited for on-site testing where speed and flexibility are essential.
Designed for ease of use, the TT-LIBS-C performs analysis without sample preparation. Testing causes minimal surface impact and uses a very small detection area, allowing repeated measurements on the same sample. The system can analyze multiple elements simultaneously, helping users quickly identify material grades and verify composition directly in the field.
The TT-LIBS-C provides precise grade identification and strong performance in detecting light elements such as magnesium, aluminum, and silicon, which are often difficult to measure using conventional methods. Built for demanding industrial environments, it delivers stable and reliable results even under challenging conditions. This makes the TT-LIBS-C a practical and efficient solution for metal processing, smelting, recycling, and other applications that require fast elemental verification.

Principle
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a type of laser ablation analysis. It works by focusing a laser beam on the surface of a sample. When the laser pulse exceeds the material's breakdown threshold, a localized plasma forms. As the plasma expands and cools, it emits light that reflects the sample’s elemental composition. This light is captured by a high-resolution spectrometer. LIBS is a fast and effective technique for both qualitative and quantitative analysis in industrial applications.

Application Case
Medium-low alloy steel is commonly used in bridges, construction, machinery manufacturing, and other industries due to its superior mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and weldability. However, the types and concentrations of alloy elements significantly affect the performance of this steel. Accurate and rapid detection of elemental composition is therefore essential for ensuring product quality.
The LIBS Analyzer TT-LIBS-C Carbon was used for on-site testing of medium-low alloy steel samples provided by an enterprise. Multiple repeated tests were conducted to verify the instrument’s stability.
