The Material Property Assessment Lab (MPAL) of McMaster Manufacturing Research Institute (MMRI) offers cutting edge technologies to support advanced materials research. Our partner Anton Paar is hosting a webinar which focuses on some of these technologies that allow for the determination of many key engineering parameters.
Every specifically-engineered microcomposite must be able to be tested rapidly and repeatedly to analyze the key physical properties that allow it to perform its task. Analysis of properties such as surface roughness, mechanical hardness, elastic modulus, electrical conductivity, scratch resistance, friction properties and others can have a direct impact on the final performance and service life of a product or its components.
This live presentation will focus on cutting edge technologies that allow for the determination of many key engineering parameters within not only bulk materials, but also in finely divided composites.
Methods discussed will include instrumented indentation, dynamic mechanical analysis, nanoscratch, and tribology, as well as electronic, magnetic and surface probing via atomic force microscopy. This webinar is ideal for in the materials engineering, packaging, polymer, additive manufacturing and aerospace communities.
