Where to get alloy assay

[retrobass]

My google-fu is coming up short. Does anybody on the forum have he ability to do an xrf assay on samples of alloy? What does it typically cost to get them run? Would I just ladle out a thin little splatter and mail it off or? Thanks in advance for the education.

there is a member on here that does them, I think BNE? I believe the deal was he charges 1lb of lead for each sample scanned, just send a small thumbnail sized piece.

yup BNE is correct, 1lb per sample, I have used him before, he is quick and reliable-Travis

BNE is a good guy to deal with.

Can anyone help?

Check the date of the post. Might send a PM to see if he has time to still provide this service. He has been very busy with his work. Good luck. He has been a wonderful help to many of us.

Please post what you find out so he only has to answer 1 message.

Caliboose, look around your locale there where you live, and see if they have an industrial X-ray company close by! Those guys do PMI ( positive material identification), and most times, if no written report is needed, and they got a minute they “ shoot “ your alloy for free! Just snap photo of the screen on the gun, and now you got it! Just opinion, as I have done it repeatedly in the past.

It’s posted elsewhere here that BNE is no longer able to test. I do not know the reason.

Call around the scrap yards in your area and ask them if they have the xrf gun

Thanks! I searched but then I’m computer illegitimate!
