Hard Metal Magnetometer

DX-9700HC Magnetometer independently developed by Dexinmag company is the latest technology for measuring the magnetic properties of cemented carbides (WC in Co matrix) and semi-hard magnetic materials. 
 

The DX-9700HC magnetometer provides accurate magnetic parameters to evaluate other correlated properties; for example hardness or the presence of undesired phases. This revolutionary measuring equipment utilizes a technique that provides the fastest, repeatable and accurate measurements available on the market today. 
 

The DX-9700HC magnetometer meets the International Standards IEC 60404-4 and ASTM A596.

Magnetic properties of cemented carbide:


Cemented carbide is a composite material composed of tungsten carbide (WC) and cobalt (CO). The addition of cobalt gives the final alloy both an excellent hardness degree and good toughness. The percentage of cobalt by weight in an alloy usually ranges from 3 to 30%.

 

Magnetic properties of cemented carbide are measured as metallurgical the process provides useful information: the magnetic moment provides direct information on the amount of unalloyed cobalt in the non-magnetic phase. So we have DX-9700HC, and now the quality of metallurgical bonding and the eventual appearance of undesired phases can be assessed. Coercivity HCJ data provide an indication of grain size: the higher the HCJ reading, the finer the grain size.

Instrument Software

 

Our proprietary 9700SW software automatically manages the DX-9700HC magnetometer measurements, including the comparison of different curves and statistical analysis. The software ensures that the measurement process is precise and absolute, guiding the operator to correctly set the sample parameters.
The automated assistant notifies the operator and makes recommendations for appropriate steps or settings.
The software also provides automatic creation of printed reports, a database search feature and curve comparison.
