Tour 10: SmartComp - Intelligent search by chemical analysis
SmartComp is an optional software add-on to Oxford Instruments Grade Database, based on worldwide unique, patented program for identification of metals, based on their chemical analysis, which is inputted into the program directly, "as received" from the spectrometer or other source.
Step 1: Choosing a search option
To find a material from the database of over 150,000 alloys takes mere seconds, use SmartComp.
Step 2: Defining search criteria
You may put a result of analysis as you received it from the measurement instrument, from metallurgical lab or from documentation and click on "Search" button. You can also click on the Import button to load appropriate file received from the instrument (in CSV format).
Step 3: Selecting the material from the list of results
By using original expert reasoning module and patented SmartMetals technology, based on fuzzy sets and metallurgical expertise, SmartComp distinguishes important composition variations from the noise and trap elements and provides you with a list of possible matches, prioritized by similarity factors.
Using the lookup feature and hotlinks to the Oxford Instruments Grade Database you can click alloys from the list to immediately review their variations from the given composition, or go directly to the Oxford Instruments Grade Database to view detailed material properties.
