Standard Mode

Designed to “think” like an expert, SmartComp carries out what would be extremely time consuming manual research work in a matter of seconds. Using a patented algorithm, SmartComp ensures that problematic trap elements, impurities and oligo-elements do not bog the identification process down and focuses the search on the most important elements to the user.

Example

Composition obtained from spectrometer

Based on the composition obtained from a spectrometer, enter the composition in SmartComp screen.

Enter composition

After the composition has been entered, click on the Search button to find materials that match that composition.

SmartComp results

The results list shows matched materials, together with their similarity to the entered composition. Similarity goes from 0 to 1, so materials with similarity closest to 1 are a better match.

Some of the elements could be completely ignored from the search (if they have very low value), so they will be considered as impurities by SmartComp.

Additional Options

Additionally, the result list can be filtered by standard (such as DIN / Germany, AISI / USA, JIS / Japan etc.) and/or similarity threshold (to show materials that meet or exceed a certain level of similarity).

After quickly reviewing materials by click on them, additional options in the result list can be used, like forwarding materials to Advanced Search or adding them to the Material List Builder.
