My scrapper uses an XRF - but the settings for this and that odd Molly
or whatever is so high it sees only Iron when looking at ballistic
steel. I finally just hid the expensive steel under the other A-36.
It weighs many times that of A-36 due to the high content of heavy metal
(not lead) and they pay for the price and get it mixed in.

When I take in Nickel or copper - then the XRF is useful.

Interesting. Prices may come down in a couple of years. One of the analysers Ed mentioned is a xrf.

But the other one is a laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)

I really have no clue, but suspect the LIBS might be cheaper to make.
