The Matex Phase sigmameter
Matex Phase is designed to make the magnetization saturation testing of hard or magnetic materials as fast and easy as it can be.

Magnetization saturation testing made fast and easy
MATEX PHASE utilizes a powerful and permanent magnet to fully saturate the magnetization of the samples.
During the automated removal of the samples from the permanent magnet, electromagnetic sensors accurately determine the magnetic phase of each sample.
This process ensures precise and reliable measurements, which are crucial for assessing the material properties and ensuring the quality of the samples.

Why is it Unique?
-
ESSENTIAL MEASUREMENT
for controlling hard metals and specialty metals: content of residual austenite, cobalt or nickel, carbon balance.
-
MEASUREMENT ACCURACY AND PRECISION
even with large samples, and with samples containing large amounts of magnetic phase.
-
FAST AND EASY CONTROL
quick (within seconds) and automated tests, independent of the operator’s skills.
Applications
Magnetization saturation testing, also known as sigmametry, is crucial for ensuring the quality and performance of hard metal parts in their final applications.
These tests reveal the composition, structure, and properties of materials like the austenitic steels used in industrial drilling and grinding processes, or the tungsten carbides used in cutting and machining.
This characterization method aids in optimizing manufacturing processes, selecting appropriate materials, and indirectly controlling hardness.
