• Directly define and export inner gradelimits to OXSAS

• Replace hours of tedious research with afew clicks

• Easy identification of materials analyzedon your spectrometer

• Easy cross referencing and easy search• Search for metal alloys, and their

properties, from around the world, inseconds with easy text-based searches

• Identification of unknown materials bytheir composition and properties

• Checking and updating done for you byKey to Metals on regular basis.

Unique features

• Contains information that is accurate • Robust update policy• True multilingual platform, available in

more than 15 languages• Application of complex algorithms within

SmartCross™, a proprietary searchmethodology for finding cross-references

• Key to Metals is the only metalsdatabase with top internationalcertification.

Grades export

• From the grade composition page, simplyclick on “Export to OXSAS” button inorder to export the data into OXSASdatabase. The export window allows yousetting up different parameters for theexport. You can choose to export onlyvalues defined in the Key to MetalsDatabase as Grade limits, or to exportinner limits too. In the latter case, youcan enter relative factors for calculationof inner limits, both for minimum andmaximum values

• Clicking on “Recalculate limits” willcalculate inner limits values based onselected percentage variation

• You can also change these marked fieldsby typing new values. You can also addelements that do not exist in thechemical composition obtained in the Keyto Metals database.
