With the acquisition and commissioning of a DIL805 quenching and forming dilatometer from TA Instruments, the Department of Materials Technology has expanded its technical equipment. This state-of-the-art measurement system enables a wide range of analyses of metallic materials — in particular, the detailed characterization of phase transformations under defined thermal and mechanical conditions.
Of particular note are the numerous operating modes now available to our researchers. From the precise measurement of thermal expansion to the simulation of complex thermal and thermomechanical processes — the instrument opens up new possibilities for materials research while also replacing an older device that was no longer functional.
The purchase was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) – 575205156 – and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
