The Centre for Corrosion Technology has accelerated environmental testing facilities available for humidity testing and neutral salt spray testing to ASTM Standard B117

The contact angle is the angle which is formed at the three-phase interface between a solid, a liquid drop and air or another gas. Such measurements can be used to determine wettability, which provides an indication of how effectively a liquid will spread over a surface.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of Scanning Probe Microscopy that can be operated in air or water

Explore the capabilities of the Spectroscopic Ellipsometry Unit at Materials and Engineering Research Institute, Sheffield Hallam University (MERI). Using advanced non-destructive optical methods to measure thin-film thickness, surface roughness and optical constants (refractive index and extinction coefficient) for coatings, semiconductors and multilayer structures.

The tribometer is applied to evaluate the friction and wear properties of various materials, such as hard coatings, hardened metals and ceramics, soft and solid lubricant materials.

An introduction to MERI's use of X-ray diffraction to measure the diffraction beam intensity, d-spacings and various structural properties of crystalline materials

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

Mercury porosimetry analysis is the progressive intrusion of mercury into a porous structure under controlled pressures. From the pressure versus intrusion data, the instrument generates volume and size distributions using the Washburn equation.

The Materials and Engineering Research Institute within Sheffield Hallam is offering thermal analysis (TGA, TG-MS, ATD-GCMS) services to internal and external businesses.
