SmartComp Tour 1: Intelligent search by chemical analysis

SmartComp is an optional software add-on to KEY to METALS, 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.

Defining search criteria

Step 3: Selecting a material from the list of the 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.

Selecting a material from the list of the results

Using the lookup feature and hotlinks to the KEY to METALS Database you can click alloys from the list to immediately review their variations from the given composition, or go directly to the KEY to METALS Database to view detailed material properties.
