Chemical composition of copper alloys with OES

Optical emission spectrometry (OES) is used to determine the chemical composition of a plate-like copper sample. The elemental composition results are expressed as mass percentages. Read more

Cross-section SEM imaging + freeze fracturing preparation

A cross-section sample is prepared using freeze fracturing: the sample is frozen in liquid nitrogen (-195 C°), followed by cracking. The cracked surface is then imaged with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). … Read more

Linear thermal expansion of solids with a rod dilatometer

ASTM E228
A dilatometer is used to determine the linear thermal expansion of a material as a function of temperature. The temperature range of the measurement is generally between 25 °C and 1,600 °C. There … Read more

Tensile test for metals at room temperature

EN ISO 6892-1
With tensile testing, the strength of metals and metal extrusion products can be determined. Properties that are deducted from the test data include tensile strength, yield strength, and modulus of elasticity. … Read more
