Precious metals and jewellery

Analysing gold, silver and platinum, checking authenticity and buying gold.

Determination of platinum, rhodium and palladium in automotive catalytic converters

Analysing the precious metals in milled and pressed catalyst samples, which is needed to determine scrap value in recycling.

Trace element analysis in materials for fashion jewellery and accessories

Screening fashion jewellery for lead, cadmium and other restricted elements with X-ray fluorescence instead of lengthy chemical analysis.

Analysis of tarnish-resistant silver alloys

X-ray fluorescence analysis of silver alloys with additions (Ga, Ge, Pd, Sn, In) that reduce tarnishing, with emphasis on standard-free measurement.

Measurement of gold coatings in the watch industry

Measuring gold plating on stainless-steel watches by beta backscatter (MMS PC2): X-ray fluorescence reaches only about 10 µm, the beta method up to 35 µm.

Determination of the silver content of silver-plated or blanched silver alloys

Ordinary XRF analysis shows too high a silver content because of the surface layer; the note describes a method that separates silver-layer thickness from the fineness of the base material.

Fast, reliable gold analysis for the gold-buying industry with X-ray fluorescence

Gold buyers need to value an item in minutes: how an XRF instrument gives purity quickly and simply, with hardly any calibration.

Precious metal analysis for assaying offices and refineries

The XAN 250 determines the precious metal content and checks coatings in a single measuring cycle with outstanding repeatability.

Analysis of the alloy elements in antique coins

Non-destructive analysis of the composition of antique coins to help research their origin.

Electrical conductivity testing of precious metal coins

Telling genuine coins from fakes by measuring their electrical conductivity.

Authenticity testing of gold bullion using electrical conductivity

Non-destructively separating genuine gold bars from fakes with an eddy-current conductivity measurement according to ASTM E 1004.

X-MAS 2013: precious-metal coatings on candy and chocolate

What the golden decoration on a chocolate praline really is: X-ray fluorescence analysis of metallic coatings on sweets.

FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY XAN 220: analysis of gold and jewellery

Leaflet for the XAN 220, for non-destructive analysis of gold, platinum and jewellery and coating thickness measurement with an SDD detector.

Gold purity: X-ray fluorescence or acid testing

Comparison of non-destructive XRF analysis with destructive methods (acid, cupellation), how to spot gold-plated jewellery, and an overview of gold grades by carat.

Comparison measurements of precious-metal alloys on four devices

Internal report (2012): jewellery and dental alloys, steel and swarf measured with XDV-SDD, XAN 220, Spectro Midex and Niton XL2; handling, software and results.

Press release: FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY XAN 220

Introduction of the XAN 220 for non-destructive analysis of jewellery and precious metals and measurement of very thin coatings such as rhodium on white gold.
