Fatigue tests
Electron microscopy
Advanced combination of Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM)
with large chambers, with ISO17025 accreditation on magnification and X-ray analysis
Field emission gun SEM from JEOL (7001F) and from Zeiss (Ultra 55 and SigmaVP)
Microscope with variable pressure microscope allows easier insulator characterization and in this equipment, in-situ mechanical testing devices (tensile and bending tests)
With a combination of analysers
- X-ray Energy dispersive (EDS), X-ray Wavelength dispersive (WDS) for elemental chemistry
- Electron Back Scattered Diffraction (EBSD) for cristallographic identification
These tools allow:
- Local chemistry, size and shape semi-quantification
- Crystal structure and orientation
- Strain measurements
