Association for Iron & Steel Technology Conference 2026
At Nanoscience Instruments, we empower steelmakers by equipping them with the means to achieve comprehensive inclusion analysis in one automated system: desktop scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Automated SEM-EDS forms the functional backbone of the Phenom ParticleX Steel system, elevating high resolution imaging and microanalysis to the next level for characterizing non-metallic inclusions in steel and in other alloys like aluminum. Once detected and quantified, inclusions are automatically categorized in adherence to industry-defined standards – ASTM E45, E2142, and E2283 – and finally compiled in easy access report documents.
We’ll be set up in Booth #83 with a Phenom ParticleX Desktop SEM running inclusion analysis live! Our automated SEM-EDS instrumentation experts are looking forward to showcasing the customizability of the system with you, as well as discussing your own goals in the steel industry.
