Oxide dispersion strengthened steel tested up to 700°C
16 Jul 2023Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys are materials with very high creep resistance at elevated temperatures. Due to their excellent mechanical properties in such extreme conditions, they are often used for various demanding applications in such important industrial areas as energy production, turbine blades, or heat exchanger tubing. In this application note, Bruker Nano provides experimental data on the performance parameters of ODS alloys studied by nanoindentation testing.

Thermal Analysis EquipmentThermal analysis equipment is used for measuring heat flow, weight loss, dimension changes or thermomechanical properties and is important for analyzing a material’s performance and stability. Thermal analysis equipment includes differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA), thermomechanical analyzers (TMA), dilatometers, thermometers, vapor sorption analyzers, boiling and melting point apparatus. Thermal analyzers can reveal properties such as melting, crystallization and glass transitions or other processes such as oxidation, decomposition, volatilization, as well as coefficients of thermal expansion and modulus.

A mechanical test shows whether a material is suitable for its intended application by measuring hardness, tensile strength, elongation, elasticity, and fatigue limit.Non-Destructive TechniquesNon-destructive techniques (NDT) describes a variety of analytical techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material. Common methods include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection (RVI), and eddy-current testing. NDT is regularly used in forensic engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, aeronautical engineering, and medicine.Surface Area TestingPhysisorption studies fundamental parameters essential for the characterization of materials such as the specific surface area and pore size distribution. Properties such as porosity, strength, hardness, permeability, separation selectivity, corrosion, and thermal stress resistance can all be directly correlated to the porous structure of a material.ProfilometersProfilometers are instruments used to measure a surface's profile, in order to quantify etch depth, deposited film thickness, and surface roughness. They operate in either contact or non-contact modes and may use optical or stylus techniques to make the actual measurements.NanoindentationODS alloysMaterials analysis
