Thermophysical investigations
For the design or simulation of materials in operation or in the production process, we can determine thermophysical properties using various measuring methods. We offer the following services:
-
Dilatometry to determine thermal expansion, sinter shrinkage, softening point, phase transformations etc.
-
Determination of thermal diffusivity using the laser flash method
-
Calculation of the thermal conductivity
-
Dynamic thermal analysis (DTA) for the determination of thermally induced material changes
-
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for determining the specific heat capacity
-
Coupled emission gas analysis by quadropole mass spectrometer (QMS)
-
Determination of conversion points (Ac1, Ac3, Ar1, Ar3, Ms, Mf)
-
Preparation of time-temperature transformation diagrams or time-temperature austenitization diagrams using quenching dilatometer (DIL805A)
-
Flow and creep curves, relaxation test as well as complex tensile/compression tests using a deformation dilatometer (DIL805D/T)
For this we use the following devices:
-
DIL 402C (dilatometry)
-
DIL 805A/D/T (quenching and forming dilatometry)
We also offer these investigations in connection with a microstructure characterization.
