Installation in France
Anna Richardson of ARUN Technology Ltd. and Arnaud Satereau of Brefond recently installed the ARTUS 8 at Fonderie de la Varenne in France.
The foundry, which is located in Chisseaux, produces aluminium alloy and copper alloy trim parts and technical parts. They use aluminium, bronze, aluminium-bronze and brass & HR bronze materials in their production.
Fonderie de la Verenne produces parts for industrial equipment, general mechanical, rail, sanitary, medical, signaling, public lighting, urban furniture, decoration & hardware and fine arts & restoration sectors.

The Metal Magazine Feature
ARUN Technology has been featured in the April 2023 online edition of The Metal Magazine. Peter Comerford and Santino Palermo from Compton Group came down to learn more about ARUN Technology and our handheld LIBS and XRF instruments.
HELIUS XRF: Applications
SDD VERSUS Si-PIN DETECTOR: WHICH ONE DO YOU NEED FOR HANDHELD XRF?
Deciding between a silicon drift detector (SDD) or Si-PIN detector is one of the first choices you need to make when buying a handheld XRF instrument.
POSITIVE MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION
In the process of alloy manufacturing adding different element types and contents to the matrix allows us to obtain finished product with different performance.
CARBIDE ALLOY ANALYSIS
Alloys are widely used in various fields of industrial manufacturing, including aerospace, energy industry, 5G construction, special manufacturing, etc..
HANDHELD XRF FOR SCRAP METAL & RECYCLING
Sorting scrap metal through testing adds value at all stages of the metal recycling process; from sorting mixed scrap into low value and high value materials, to determining the composition of the scrap that goes into the melts and the quality of the output.
COATING THICKNESS TESTING
Metal coatings are used in many industries and are applied to objects for decorative purposes (e.g., mirror finish, gold colour), to increase corrosion resistance, improve solderability, increase hardness, reduce friction and wear, and more.
PRECIOUS METAL AND JEWELLERY TESTING
Certain electronics, lab equipment, even the banking industry (coins), and medicine are using high-quality precious metals.
SOIL POLLUTION SCREENING
The contamination of soil has gradually been caused by human activity such as industrial processes (e.g., mining, manufacturing), agriculture (use of fertilizers and pesticides), or waste disposal (e.g., improper use of landfill).
Articles & Practical Knowledge
HOW IS THE HELIUS XRF BEING USED IN THE JEWELLERY SECTOR?
August 25, 2023
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology is extensively used in the jewellery sector for a range of applications, primarily related to quality control, material analysis, and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Here is how this technology and ARUN’s HELIUS XRF is employed in the jewellery industry:
HOW XRF TECHNOLOGY IS A BIG DEAL IN THE MINING INDUSTRY
August 22, 2023
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology is highly applicable to the mining industry due to its ability to provide rapid and non-destructive elemental analysis of various materials. It has become an indispensable tool in mining operations for both exploration and production phases.
JUST BECAUSE IT IS A HANDHELD
There is an assumption that portable instruments can be used immediately.
Our Solutions
HELIUS
The HELIUS XRF series of metal analysers are a good choice for analysis in many fields; delivering rapid and accurate results right in the palm of your hand. The HELIUS XRF instruments provide ultimate quality of measurement within a few seconds; making it the ideal solution for checking and analysing incoming materials, finished goods and in-process production parts in a non-destructive way.
CALIBUS
The CALIBUS is the latest in a series of laser-induced breakdown spectrometers (LIBS) from ARUN Technology. It is an ideal analytical solution for QA/QC, metallurgical manufacturing and machining, the petrochemical industries, mining, scrap metal and recycling.
ARTUS 10
The ARTUS 10 is the first direct reading spectrometer using CMOS and thermoelectric cooling technology. It is the ideal spectrometer for industries that process incoming steel, non-ferrous, unknown and composite metals material for in-process testing and final quality control. It meets the needs of users looking for a high-end solution.
ARTUS 8
The ARTUS 8 provides fast, precise and accurate analyses for the perfect melt. It is our most powerful and reliable spectrometer and is well suited for the metal processing industry and perfectly suited for the metal production and inspection & contract lab industries. It is available in 3 models: the ARTUS 8 Standard, ARTUS 8 Ultimate and ARTUS 8 Visible.
MERLIN 4
The MERLIN 4 is well suited for the metal production and inspection & contract lab industries and perfectly suited for the metal processing industry. It is available in 2 models: the MERLIN 4 Ultra and MERLIN 4 Visible.
