Following a recent service visit to Sweden, Nick Pickford from Micro Materials Ltd (MML) was photographed alongside materials researchers from Lund University. Established in 1424, Lund University is one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions in northern Europe. Over the centuries, it has been home to many distinguished scientists, including five Nobel Prize winners and Sven Matisson, one of the key developers behind Bluetooth technology.
Innovation is not only a hallmark of Lund University but also a core strength of Micro Materials Ltd. We are proud to have introduced the first commercial instrument designed for high-vacuum, high-temperature nanomechanics—the NanoTest Xtreme. This state-of-the-art instrument allows for nano-mechanical testing in a vacuum environment at temperatures reaching, and even exceeding, 1000°C.
The NanoTest Xtreme is an essential tool for investigating next-generation engineering materials. Its applications span a variety of high-tech industries, including the development of tool coatings for high-speed machining, high-temperature components for aerospace engines, and the study of irradiation effects in nuclear reactor cladding.
For further details about the NanoTest Xtreme and its capabilities, please do not hesitate to contact us.
