INTUITIVE
INCLUSION RATING SYSTEM
Clemex CIR helps quality control laboratories vastly improve their productivity by analyzing inclusions in steel with impressive speed, accuracy and repeatability. Very simple to operate, the inclusion rating software will allow you to reduce analysis time to less than 2 minutes for a 160 mm2 area with minimal user intervention.

TYPES OF
ANALYSIS
Our automated image analysis system is designed to detect the following inclusions and rate them according to most recognized standards: sulfides, aluminates, silicates, globular oxides, single globulars, borides, carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides.

KEY
FEATURES
MORE FEATURES
DIFFERENT HEATS
Analyze up to 6 heats with 6 samples each during the same run.
EXTREME VALUE ESTIMATION
Statistically characterize the distribution of the largest inclusions using results of up to 4 trials according to ASTM E-2283.
IMAGE OPTIMIZATION
Auto-focus, auto-exposure and automated shading correction.
LARGE INCLUSIONS
Long inclusions that span across several fields are detected and measured as one inclusion.
MULTI-PLATE SAMPLES
Interfaces between stacked samples are ignored.
RELOAD PATTERNS
Save time by placing samples on a magnetic stage plate and reuse previously saved patterns.
REPORTING
Save results in many formats including xls, txt, csv, and ASCII for post-processing.
SAVE IMAGES
Images captured during an analysis can be saved for further use.
