Thermal analysis suite
This suite can characterise coatings from room temperature to 1600°C.
Detailed Description
This suite includes: Netzsch LFA427 – high temp laser flash thermal diffusivity (capability room temperature to 1600°C); Netzsch DIL402PC – High temperature dilatometer (room temperature to 1550°C); Netzsch STA409 – High temperature simultaneous thermogravimetry & differential scanning calorimetry; Micro Materials NanoTest Vantage P3 and TA instruments – Fox50 (heat flow meter). Together these instruments enables the mechanical characterisation and testing of engineering materials at operationally relevant conditions.
Uses/Applications
Our research focus is to examine degradation of ceramic coatings/layers in harsh environments.
