This section lists the methods that are factory programmed into the K1 Prime. It is
not possible for the user to alter or delete them.
Note that Katanax cannot be held responsible for any damage to platinumware or
fluxer incurred by the use of those methods. Especially, samples containing un-
oxidized material should be fused with extreme care. If unsure, please contact
Katanax. We will be glad to prepare an adapted method for your specific sample.
Name Applicable to... Description
Oxide Cement, glass,
ceramics, petrochemical
catalysts, most
geochemistry samples
and general oxides
Most common fusion method. Must only
be applied to fully oxidized material.
Metal Samples containing un-
oxidized material
Applicable to metals that can be attacked
by acids or bases. This method has a low-
temperature oxidation period, in which
the solid oxidizer attacks the sample.
Fusion is then completed like an oxide.
Solution Oxidized material to be
analyzed by wet
method.
Is normally used with lithium metaborate.
Peroxide Samples containing
metals, often precious,
which are attacked in
peroxide or peroxide
fluxes
Low-temperature fusion that does not
pour. Crucible is removed with tongs at
the end, cooled a little on a metallic
surface, then immersed into acid.
Platinum crucibles are normally not used
with this method, as the flux would
damage the crucible.
Anneal Particularly unstable
samples that burst or
crack
Provides the user with a template to re-
heat the mold after casting, and relieve
thermal stresses.
