Other equipment

• High precision Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

This system is used to study the followings:

phase transformations,

crystallization,

grain growth,

melting, and

specific heat.

(Temperature range: -170^oC – 720^oC. Sensitivity: 0.5 mW)

• Microhardness tester (test coatings and bulk materials)

This system is used to study the followings:

Hardness,

modulus,

creep and fatigue, and

fracture toughness.

• Optical microscopes
