Hardness testing machine InSEM® HT

high-temperature

The InSEM HT high temperature nanoindentation test system allows independent tip and sample heating in a vacuum environment, and is compatible with many SEM/FIB chambers or standalone vacuum chambers. With temperatures ranging up to 800°C, extreme temperature conditions can be simulated in situ in order to produce consistent, reliable test data. Single-crystal tungsten carbide tips on a molybdenum holder are optimized for use in high temperature test applications, and are available in several geometries. • InForce 50 actuator with tip heating for capacitance displacement measurement and electromagnetic force actuation with interchangeable tips • Sample heating up to 800°C with 10mm sample-size and vacuum-compatible sample mounting system • InQuest high speed controller electronics with 100kHz data acquisition rate and 20µs time constant • XYZ motion system for sample targeting • SEM video capture for synchronized SEM images with test data • Unique software-integrated tip-calibration system for fast, accurate tip calibration • InView control and data review software with Windows® 10 compatibility and method developer for user-designed experiments Applications • High temperature testing • Hardness and modulus measurements (Oliver-Pharr) • Continuous stiffness measurement • High speed material property maps • Creep measurement • Strain rate sensitivity Industries • Universities, research labs and institutes • Aerospace • Automotive manufacturing • Hard coatings • Nuclear energy • Military/defense
