Materials Characterization Laboratory

Areas of activity

• Measurement tasks for the characterization of all types of materials and components
• Service measurements (diffractometry, thermal analysis) and, after itroduction, independent measurements (Raman, µ-CT)
• Support with the evaluation and interpretation of the data obtained, provided by laboratory staff
• The equipment is available to staff and students alike

Key areas

• Material characterisation using diffraction methods (phase, stress and texture analysis)
• Vibrational spectroscopy: combination of optical microscopy and Raman
• Thermal analysis of materials (decomposition, phase transformations, thermal expansion behaviour)
• Radiographic testing and computed tomography
