XRF testing is a non-destructive analytical technique based on electronic transitions within atoms, capable of rapidly and accurately identifying the elemental composition and relative concentrations in a sample. The fundamental principle involves irradiating the sample with high-energy X-rays, which excite inner-shell electrons (typically K or L shell) to higher energy levels or even eject them from their orbitals, creating vacancies within the atom. When outer-shell electrons fill these vacancies, they emit characteristic fluorescent X-rays with energies specific to each element. By measuring and analyzing the energies and intensities of these characteristic X-rays, XRF enables both qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis.
XRF offers significant advantages: it can simultaneously detect a wide range of elements, from light elements such as sodium and magnesium to heavy elements such as lead and tungsten, without the need for sample dissolution or destruction. The technique provides rapid testing with high reproducibility. Furthermore, advanced spectral correction and algorithmic processing allow XRF to effectively compensate for matrix effects and interferences, enhancing analytical accuracy. These capabilities make XRF a widely used tool in materials science, alloy analysis, environmental sample testing, mineral exploration, and industrial quality control, establishing it as an essential method for laboratories and enterprises conducting elemental analysis.
