Analysis and coating characterisation testing equipment
A list of equipment for Analysis and coating characterisation testing at the Materials and Engineering Research Institute
Thermal Conductivity Test
Thermal conductivity ('k value') is a property of a material that determines how much heat is conducted through it for a given temperature difference
Corrosion Testing Facilities
The Centre for Corrosion Technology has the equipment and expertise to carry out both accelerated environmental and electrochemical tests, as appropriate to your needs.
PVD coating equipment
A Hauzer HTC 1000-4/ ABS (Arc Bond Sputter) coating unit is housed in the laboratory based at the NTCPVD. This unit is primarily a research, development and pilot production machine
Microscope imaging
In microscope applications, many of the imaging and vision techniques that are generally applied in industrial macro-environments are not suitable because of several constraints imposed by the micro-environment
Lesker UHV Sputtering Rig
Ultra high vacuum PVD system with three magnetron sources and one UHV arc source
Accelerated Weathering Testing
The Materials and Engineering Research Institute within Sheffield Hallam is offering Accelerated Weathering services to internal and external businesses.
Optical imaging and analysis systems
The Eifeler Image Analysis Suite is a comprehensive imaging system consisting of an Olympus BX40 high magnification optical microscope linked via a CCD camera to a dedicated PC
Fatigue Test Machines
There are a wide range of mechanical testing machines used to test the fatigue for a wide range of different materials within the engineering department. The machines are suitable for a wide range of applications, whether for testing the material or component.
