In situ study of sigma phase formation in Cr–Co–Ni ternary alloys at 800C using the long duration experiment facility at Diamond Light Source

,

See how a unique setup using Linkam’s TS1500 allows researchers to perform beamline XRD analysis at high temperature at Diamond Light Source. Here, they use the new long-duration experimental beamline I11 to study phase formation kinetics of metal alloys, demonstrating a new technique for metallurgical studies.

Synchrotron X-ray scattering study on amorphous poly(ethylene furanoate) under uniaxial deformation

Researchers combine the mechanical testing and temperature control capabilities of Linkam’s mechanical testing system with x-ray scattering techniques (WAXS/SAXS) to elucidate the crystallisation and deformation induced orientation as a function of stress-strain behaviour and temperature.

Stretching-Induced Uniform Micropores Formation: An in Situ SAXS/WAXS Study

By stretching lamellar polymer films at various temperatures, researchers were able to prepare microporous membranes. They performed SAXS/WAXS characterisation on the stretched samples, and for the first time clarifying the fibre connecting bridges that form when the composite is stretch at raised temperatures. Read how Linkam’s mechanical testing system was key to this research.
