High temperature testing of materials at the nano-scale: online mini symposium

Nanomechanical testing at high temperatures:  hear from the experts
16 October 2024 by

High temperature testing of materials at the nano-scale is the title of this year's Micro Materials Ltd's online mini symposium.  Registration is open now.

With our NanoTest Vantage and NanoTest Xtreme nanomechanical testing instruments, we have proven our world-leading capabilities in the field of high temperature nano-mechanical characterization with hundreds of installations world-wide. 

 Materials researchers use our instruments to investigate the behaviour of materials for applications in aerospace and automotive manufacturing , cutting tools for high speed machining – and, not least,  the nuclear sector, where they need to test at temperatures ≥1,000 degrees C - uniquely achievable using the NanoTest Xtreme operating under high vacuum conditions.

This is an opportunity for you to hear from leading users in high temperature testing in a free-to-attend online mini symposium.   

Join us online -  Thursday 21 Nov 2024,  follow this link to register: https://my.demio.com/ref/lfo1Xjt89DgO2iHv

The mini symposium starts at 13.30 GMT,  duration approx. 2 hours 

Registered delegates will be given a recording of the event to review when convenient.

Speakers:

Prof. Nigel Jennett, Strategic Measures Ltd, Rugby

Challenges in high temperature nanoindentation

 

Prof. Łukasz Kurpaska, National Center for Nuclear Research, Warsaw

Deformation of Fe-Cr model alloys at high temperatures and after radiation damage measured by nanoindentation

 

 Dr. Vineet Bhakhri, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, Chalk River 

 High-temperature Micro-mechanical Characterization of SiC Coating in Surrogate TRISO Fuel Particles

 

 Dr. James Gibson, United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority
