| The Research
Group (Lehrstuhl) for Materials Science and Engineering
shares state-of-the-art experimental facilities with the other two
units (materials
technology and materials testing) in the Institute for Materials (IM). |
|
| Materials
processing |
 |
two vacuum induction furnaces for
melting
ingots up to 5 kg |
|
small rolling mill for cold and hot
rolling |
|
wire drawing bench including a
device
for pointing wires (0.08 to 5 mm diameter) |
|
swaging machine for cylindrical
specimens
(diameter up to 10 mm)
|
|
melt spinning device for the
production
of rapidly quenched ribbons |
| Testing machines
for the characterization of mechanical properties of materials |
|
creep laboratory
|
|
instrumented Charpy impact tester
|
|
several hydraulic and mechanical
test
rigs for loads between 5 and 400 kN in the temperature range from -100
to
+1100°C (attachments: vacuum chamber, fast drawing device etc.) |
|
equipment for wear testing at
temperatures
up to 1000°C |
|
mechanical microprobe for
computer-aided
scratching and hardness measurements of thin layers and phases as well
as
for the determination of Young's modulus |
| Equipment
for non-destructive testing and characterization of physical material
properties |
|
two x-ray diffractometers for
identification
and determination of phases and textures and of residual stresses |
|
ultrasonic testing devices |
|
laboratory for measuring electrical
and
magnetic properties |
|
device for determining permeability
and
roughness |
| Microstructural
characterization |
|
several optical microscopes |
|
two SEMs with EDS |
|
two TEMs (with FE and LaB6
cathodes) |
|
heating and cooling holders and
in-situ
deformation holders for TEM
|
|
image analysis systems for
quantitative
analysis of microstructural features |
|
electron and x-ray diffraction
patterns
can be analyzed using supportive software packages |
| Miscellaneous |
|
devices for spark spectography |
|
thermal analysis (DSC, TGA,
dilatometer) |
|
Nd:YAG laser |
| Machine Shop |
|
A well equipped machine shop assists
in
specimen machining and in the setting up special research equipment.
The
workshop offers NC lathes, milling machines and spark erosion equipment. |
