A key event for the Eurasian metallurgical industry, ANKIROS brings together manufacturers, technology providers, researchers and industry professionals to explore the latest innovations in industrial processes.
GNR Analytical Instruments Group will also participate alongside Anka Analitik, showcasing its solutions for metal analysis and quality control.
ANKIROS 2026: Innovation and Technologies for the Metallurgical Industry
ANKIROS provides an important opportunity for international metallurgy professionals to exchange knowledge and explore new technologies. The 2024 edition welcomed 1,137 exhibiting companies and over 21,000 professional visitors, confirming the exhibition’s international relevance.
The main exhibition areas at ANKIROS 2026 will include:
- Foundry Technologies: melting equipment, machinery and production technologies.
- Iron, Steel and Metallurgy: steel production, metal processing and non-ferrous metallurgy.
- TURKCAST: foundry products and industrial cast components.
- Thermprocess Technologies: industrial furnaces, heat treatment and energy efficiency solutions.
The programme will also feature major international events, including the 23rd International Metallurgy & Materials Congress and the 76th World Foundry Congress, encouraging scientific and technological exchange between research and industry.
GNR at ANKIROS 2026 Alongside Anka Analitik
GNR will attend ANKIROS 2026 together with its Turkish partner Anka Analitik, bringing its expertise in developing analytical instruments for the chemical analysis of metallic materials.
The highlight of GNR’s participation will be the S6 Sirius 500, an optical emission spectrometer designed to meet the quality control requirements of the metallurgical industry.
GNR technologies support essential activities such as alloy identification, raw material verification and chemical composition analysis throughout industrial production.
S6 Sirius 500: Precision and Innovation in Metal Analysis
Developed and manufactured in Italy, the S6 Sirius 500 combines high-sensitivity CMOS technology with GNR’s proprietary EOS® software, delivering fast and accurate analysis across a wide range of metallic matrices.
Its main technical features include:
| Feature | Specifications |
| Optical technology | High-sensitivity CMOS detectors |
| Spectral range | 119–850 nm |
| Optical system | Argon-purged optical chamber |
| Critical elements | O, N and H analysis in supported matrices |
| Software | GNR EOS® |
| Matrices | Iron, aluminium, copper, nickel, cobalt, titanium and other alloys |
Thanks to its extended spectral range and dedicated analytical configurations, the S6 Sirius 500 can measure critical elements such as oxygen in pure copper and gaseous elements in titanium alloys.
“The ability to identify and quantify critical elements is essential to ensuring material compliance, reliability and quality in demanding industrial applications”.
