External use of Alemnis Nanoindenter for in situ micro/nano-mechanical testing

DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT

The Alemnis Nanoindenter for in situ micro/nano mechanical testing enables nanoindentation tests to measure mechanical properties such as hardness and elastic modulus, as well as micropillar compression tests to determine stress-strain curves at the micro scale. The system allows for video recording during testing to study deformation mechanisms, as well as testing at high temperatures (up to 1000 °C) and low temperatures (down to -150 °C).
  •  

In addition, this advanced system incorporates a unique intrinsic displacement mode that provides unprecedented precision and flexibility for both in-situ and ex-situ testing. In-situ micro/nano mechanical tests are performed inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM), allowing real-time observation of deformation and fracture mechanisms, as well as the acquisition of high-resolution images.

SERVICES:

  • Conducting a wide variety of critical testing methods, such as micropillar compression, fatigue testing, microcantilever bending, and mechanical property mapping.
  • High-temperature module for in-situ testing up to 1000 °C.
  • Low-temperature module for in-situ testing down to -150 °C.
  • Compatibility with the Thermo Fisher Scientific Apreo 2S SEM microscope.
