X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF)
The wavelength dispersive Philips PW2440 sequential X-ray fluorescence spectrometer provides analytical facilities for the determination of concentrations of elements present in solids, powders and liquids
High Performance Computing - Beowulf Cluster
High performance computing clusters are used to solve advanced analytical, numerical and computational problems. Uses for high performance range from data storage and analysis, simulations, modelling, data mining, software development and fast mathematical calculations
Thermal analysis (TGA, TG-MS, ATD-GCMS)
The Materials and Engineering Research Institute within Sheffield Hallam is offering thermal analysis (TGA, TG-MS, ATD-GCMS) services to internal and external businesses.
MAZAK High Speed Machining Centre
The MAZAK FJV25 high speed machining centre is used to test coated tools under realistic manufacturing conditions
Sustainability and process simulation facilities
Those wishing to characterise polymers currently, need to use several analytical techniques to get all the information about a polymer's structure or chemistry
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) utilises a beam of electrons to transmit through an ultra thin specimen. The interaction between the transmitting electrons and the specimen leads to the generation of several types of signals regarding structural and chemical characteristics of the specimen material.
Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP)
The scanning Kelvin probe is a non-contact, non-destructive instrument designed to measure the surface work function difference between conducting, coated, or semi-conducting materials and a metallic probe
Neutral Salt Spray Testing (ASTM B117)
The Centre for Corrosion Technology has accelerated environmental testing facilities available for humidity testing and neutral salt spray testing to ASTM Standard B117
