Fast Alloy Identification with ProSpector 2: Alloy Grade & Compare to Alloy

Описание: In this episode, we take a deeper look at two ProSpector 2 modes that solve two different — but equally important — questions in everyday metal identification and quality control:
❗️Alloy Grade and Compare to Alloy.❗️

You’ll learn why these modes should not be treated as “the same thing with different buttons.” Alloy Grade is designed for fast identification when you don’t yet know what material you’re holding. It automatically suggests the most likely alloy and shows a match percentage, helping you quickly understand what you’re dealing with.
But when the grade is already specified in drawings, technical documentation, or customer requirements, the real question changes from “What is it?” to “Does it meet the standard?” That’s where Compare to Alloy becomes critical. In this mode, you choose the expected grade from the library and the analyzer checks whether each element falls within the tolerance limits. It’s especially useful for quality control of finished parts, laboratories and QC departments, and material certification, where compliance matters more than a best-guess name.
We also show a clear workflow used in real production environments:
First Alloy Grade — to quickly identify the likely material,
then Compare to Alloy — to confirm in detail that the composition truly matches the required norm.
To help you get reliable results, we cover the practical details that most people overlook: why surface preparation can make or break your measurement when tolerances are tight, how measurement time affects accuracy (especially for low-concentration alloying elements), what a low match percentage in Alloy Grade can actually mean (non-standard alloys, mixed materials, weld zones, or simply poor surface condition), and why selecting the correct reference grade in Compare to Alloy is essential to avoid false “fails.”
By the end of the video, you’ll know exactly when to use each mode, how they complement each other, and how to reduce sorting mistakes while increasing confidence in your results.
