EVIDENT XRF TECHNOLOGY · BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS RECYCLING
Know Your Metal.
Understand Its Value.
Christensen Recycling uses Evident X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology to identify alloy grades and analyze precious-metal content. Our XRF metal analysis helps us evaluate suitable materials for purchase and support competitive pricing based on what they contain.

Advanced Analysis Behind Your Recycling Program
Two pieces of scrap can look similar while containing different metals. Identifying those differences helps us sort material appropriately and make better-informed purchasing decisions. Our Evident XRF analyzer adds elemental analysis to our team’s recycling experience, providing useful information beyond appearance alone.
ALLOY IDENTIFICATION
Understand Your Scrap Metal
XRF analysis helps identify alloy chemistry and distinguish suitable grades of metal. That information supports scrap sorting and evaluation for manufacturers, fabricators, automotive businesses, and other commercial generators.
PRECIOUS-METAL ANALYSIS
Evaluate Valuable Metal Content
Our analyzer also supports precious-metal analysis, including applications relevant to catalytic converter recycling. Suitable sample preparation and representative sampling are important when evaluating material containing platinum, palladium, and rhodium.
How XRF Metal Analysis Works
XRF stands for X-ray fluorescence. The analyzer measures characteristic signals from elements in a sample to help determine its elemental composition. Our team uses that information, where appropriate, as part of the material evaluation process.
1. Tell Us About Your Material.
Share your business location, material type, approximate quantity, and photos through our request form.
2. We Review The Appropriate Evaluation Method.
Our team determines whether XRF analysis, grading, sampling, or further processing is suitable for your material.
3. Discuss Pricing And Service.
We review the material’s grade, quantity, condition, and market conditions to discuss purchasing and pickup options.
What This Means For Your Business
Better material identification can help distinguish valuable alloys, reduce sorting uncertainty, and support pricing discussions. It is one more way Christensen Recycling invests in the equipment and expertise behind your scrap metal and catalytic converter recycling program.
Based in Sayreville, New Jersey, we work with business accounts throughout our regional pickup area. Service availability depends on your location, material, and volume. View Our Pickup Coverage →
Common Questions About XRF Analysis
Does XRF Test Both Alloys And Precious Metals?
Yes. Our Evident analyzer supports both alloy identification and precious-metal analysis. The appropriate test depends on the material, instrument settings, and sample preparation.
Does A Scan Determine The Final Value Of Every Load?
XRF is one part of the evaluation process. Surface coatings, mixed materials, and sample consistency can affect results. Final pricing also depends on weight, grade, condition, market conditions, and any agreed processing or assay terms.
How Do I Request A Material Evaluation?
Submit your business and material details using our pickup request form. Our team will review your request and discuss the appropriate next steps. XRF analysis is described here as part of our recycling and purchasing process.
