Netzsch TMA Hyperion 402 F3 Hyperion

Next to its conventional creep testing setups, the Institute I purchased in 2012 a compact setup aimed at investigating very small samples in the range of milli- and micrometers. The Netzsch TMA Hyperion 402 F3 Hyperion uses an electromagnetic actuation providing up to 3 N force and ensures a reliable measurement of the displacement with an accuracy of a few nanometers. The tests can be performed in controlled environment between -150°C and +1500°C. The setup is used to study the local creep properties of materials.

General:

  • Temperature range: -150°C – +1500°C
  • Measuring range/ resolution: 500µm/ 0,125nm
  • Force range/ resolution: 0,001N – 3N/ <0,01mN
  • Force or displacement controlled, static or dynamic
  • Atmospheres: Vacuum or Ar protective gas

 

Tensile tests:

  • Stress range: <170MPa (F=3N; Æ=150µm)
  • Temperature range: -150°C – +1500°C

Compression tests:

  • Stress range: <1300MPa (F=1,28N; Æ=25µm)
  • Temperature range: -150°C – +800°C
