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.

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

A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) - based around welding in dissimilar metals in a joint configuration using the laser welding - led to a completely new process for welding the knives used in food processing and packaging for Wolstenhome Machine Knives Ltd

Steel company AI Materials needed to meet a new requirement to improve the mechanical strength and toughness properties of the super duplex stainless steel used in industrial fasteners at low temperatures

Funded by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), we were tasked with creating a high performance ceramic material with potential for use in for body armour. The project was undertaken by Hywel Jones, one of our materials engineering experts, and Anthony Pick, a ceramic consultant

A complete service is carried out for the glass industry from analysing the raw materials including sand, limestone, dolomite, soda ash, glass cullet, borax etc. to the finished product and also waste dusts.

Raman microscopy allows us to understand the early stages of oilwell cement hydration, which is crucial to its application

A series of synthetic C-S-H phases has been prepared, with the aim of studying structural changes with changes in C/S

Cement powders contain four major hydraulic constituents, ie clinker phases, which hydrate at different rates and thus influence important factors such as setting time, workability and mechanical strength

Hydration of the two calcium silicate clinker phases, C3S and C2S proceeds, after an initial induction period, to form a poorly-defined calcium silicate hydrate
