The 2026 Sichuan Foundry Industry Annual Conference was held recently. The conference, themed "Green New Technology, Digital Intelligence Empowerment, Intelligent Future", delved deeply into the transformation and upgrading of the foundry industry and its high-quality development. Create Analytical instrument, in collaboration with the handheld X-ray fluorescence analyzer, made an appearance at this conference.

At the meeting, the organizers provided an authoritative interpretation of the "Implementation Plan for High-Quality Development of the Cast Iron Industry in Sichuan Province", the "15th Five-Year Plan" for the cast iron industry in Sichuan Province, and the relevant industrial policies recently issued. They also released the basic situation of the 2025 survey of Sichuan Province's cast iron enterprises. During the meeting, practical experts from fields such as sand management, smelting control, cast steel, high-performance ductile iron, efficient heat riser, lost foam casting, and casting management shared cutting-edge technologies and practical experiences, bringing a rich and valuable technical feast to the participating enterprises. In addition, to help casting enterprises expand their markets, the meeting also released a number of casting demand information on the spot.

The handheld X-ray fluorescence analyzer is a portable detection tool from Create Analytical instrument. This device is compact in size and easy to operate, enabling on-site real-time screening of metal materials without the need for complex sample preparation. Within seconds, it can provide accurate elemental composition data. In the casting industry, the handheld X-ray fluorescence analyzer is widely used in scenarios such as rapid furnace front sorting, incoming material inspection, alloy grade identification, and product quality traceability, significantly enhancing the efficiency of on-site testing and helping enterprises achieve full-process quality control from the source to the finished product.

Meanwhile, the direct reading spectrometer produced by Create Analytical instrument has also attracted much attention. This device is hailed as the "element detective" in the casting production line, capable of precisely analyzing the various element components in metal materials within a very short time, including key elements such as carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. Its high sensitivity, low detection limit, and excellent stability make it the preferred equipment for analyzing the composition of materials such as cast steel, ductile iron, and alloy iron, providing reliable data support for the smelting process control, raw material acceptance, and product inspection of casting enterprises.

The Create Analytical instrument team demonstrated the application value of the two devices throughout the entire casting production process through on-site presentations and case explanations. Representatives from multiple casting enterprises in Sichuan Province stopped by to exchange ideas, discussing the device performance, detection accuracy, and practical application scenarios with the technicians. Many guests expressed their intention to cooperate on the spot.

At this conference, Create Analytical instrument not only showcased its technical capabilities in the field of spectroscopy analysis, but also gained a deep understanding of the actual needs of the casting industry for testing equipment through face-to-face communication with the casting enterprises. In the future, Create Analytical instrument will continue to focus on the field of analysis and testing, providing higher-quality products and services to help the casting industry steadily advance on the path of "green and intelligent".
