Excellence in Nanomechanical Test Instrumentation

 

During 2009 Micro Materials Ltd will be celebrating 21 years within the nanomechanical industry. Established  in 1988 Micro Materials has continually been at the fore front of innovation, with our pioneering approach leading to three world firsts:

  • The first commercial nanoscale impact tester, for erosive wear, toughness and contact fatigue.

  • The first commercial high temperature nanoindentation stage, capable of reaching temperatures up to 750°C.

  • The first liquid cell, allowing the testing of samples which are fully immersed in a fluid.

Micro Materials Ltd are based in Wrexham, UK, which is located approximately one hour from the cities of Manchester and Liverpool.

We provide innovative, versatile nanomechanical test instrumentation, and respond to developments in applications in response to customer and market requirements. The integrity, reliability and accuracy of our equipment is paramount, as is our relationship with our users.

 

History

MML was established in 1988, with the aim of becoming the world leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of nanomechanical testing instruments for research and quality assurance.

The modern day NanoTestTM is a highly evolved system, which employs a unique pendulum system which is based on a prototype which was first developed at the University of Lancaster, UK.

Research and Development programs over the lifetime of the company have seen the NanoTestTM evolve into the current, fully-automated, highly versatile instrument it is today.

At Micro Materials, our highly specialised scientists and engineers take particular pride in their ability to solve complex problems related to specific customer needs and applications.

This responsive and flexible approach has earned us an enviable reputation for strong customer relations and for products designed to satisfy our customers' requirements.
