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.
