Acquisition of a Mechanical Properties Microprobe for Thin Films, Coatings, and Inhomogeneous Materials Characterization

9871322 Reimanis科罗拉多矿业学院（CMS）的科罗拉多高级陶瓷中心将购买一种机械性能微探针，专门用于支持研究、研究培训和工程教育。 除了为CSM的大量研究项目提供有价值的（在某些情况下是关键的）数据外，该设备还将促进多个部门和机构内研究项目之间的互动。 该设备对于一些研究项目至关重要，这些项目需要对材料进行精细的表征。 研究的主要领域是描述薄膜和涂层的结构/性能关系。 第二个领域是对陶瓷基复合材料的加工和性能的理解。 第三个领域是先进钢的涂层和成分的基本表征。 复合材料和钢中的原位组分性质表征对于模拟整体机械响应是非常重要的。

9871322ReimanisThe Colorado Center for Advanced Ceramics at the Colorado School of Mines (CMS) will purchase a mechanical properties microprobe dedicated to support research, research training, and education in engineering. In addition to providing valuable, and in some cases, critical data for a large number of research programs at CSM, the equipment will foster interaction between research programs within several departments and institutions. The equipment is critical for several research programs, which require the characterization of materials on a fine scale. A primary area of research aims to describe the structures/properties relationships in thin films and coatings. A second area is the understanding of processing and properties of ceramic based composites. A third area is the fundamental characterization of the coatings and constituents of advanced steels. In-situ constituent property characterization in composites and steels is very important if one is to model the overall mechanical response.
