Utilize Laser Spectrometer for Material Analysis

what is this like this is kind of a fun toy this is our laser spectrometer actually does have a laser in it and we use this to measure our metals and it tells us what the metal is what the composition is of the metal so if you're getting a crankshaft and you want to know what the material is you'll just come over here stick it on the part and what it's going to do is actually shoot a laser into the part it's going to vaporize the top layer of the part and then it's gonna analyze that vapor and come back and tell you what the material composition is of the part so when i hear pull the trigger you'll feel hear like a scratching sound that's gonna be the laser doing the burning there we go did you hear that yeah okay this crankshaft's uh 4340 steel and give you a breakdown of all the materials in there so you got iron nickel manganese chromium silicon breaks it on down by percentage it has a database in here so it takes that composition matches it up to the closest match in the database and lets you know what it is so it's a real handy way to verify you're getting in the material that you think you are if you uh took that and stuck it up to my arm would it tell you that i'm full
