EDX analysis:
In the first step the recorded spectrum is analyzed and the elements of the compound are identified.
JOMESA PSE allows to generate material definitions by its mass element content.
Example: "Corundum" can be defined as mass percentage of Al is between 40 and 60 percent and mass percentage of O is above 40%
Example: "Steel low alloyed" can be defined as: (Fe > 65) and (0.5 < Cr < 1.8) or (0.5 < Mn < 1.8).
There is no global consent on such definitions but JOMESA works together with IPA and leading automotive companies to establish a definition set in VDA 19 framework.

PSE systems come with a set of databases (material definitions) adopted for different applications.
