METALLURGY Laboratory

This facility is equipped for full microstructural and mechanical characterization of metallic materials.

 

Microstructural characterisation:

  • Metallographic preparation equipment
  • Microscopes (optical microscope with bright field, dark field and polarized light, scanning electron microscope with EDS and EBSD probes)
  • X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD)
  • Glow-Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscpy (GDOES) system for the determination of the elemental chemical composition (both in bulk and by concentration vs depth profiles)

 

Mechanical testing:

  • Tensile-compression testing machines
  • Fatigue testing machines (axial and rotating bending, both at room and at high temperature)
  • Charpy impact testing equipment
  • Hardness and microhardness testers
  • Tribometers (sliding: dry or lubricated, both at room and at high temperature, microabrasion).

 

Heat treatment:

  • Induction casting system with controlled atmosphere, magnetic and ultrasonic stirring
  • Air and controlled-atmosphere ovens
  • Equipment for thermal analysis (DTA/TGA)

 

Laboratory staff: Antonio Agostani, Iuri Boromei.
