The purchase of a high temperature differential scanning calorimeter (DSC, a DSC 401 F1 Pegasus by NETZSCH) is very urgent and critical to my research program and the training of HQP. There is no DSC on Campus that can reach 2000C nor is there another company that makes a 2000C DSC. A DSC requires a sample to be heated uniformly and to measure any additional thermal energy change due to a phase transformation or precipitation. As such, it provides a bulk measurement and is unique in providing reliable near thermodynamic equilibrium data. When a material is far from equilibrium (metastable), running this sample in a DSC brings it much closer to equilibrium and the DSC provides a quantitative measure of the temperature and the enthalpy associated with that event. Thus, the DSC provides critical processing information on the degree a material is metastable and the effect on microstructure of the temperature/time path for that material to return to equilibrium (eg. rapid solidification, aging and tempering). This is a key instrument for a number of collaborative projects funded by the NSERC CR&D (with EVRAZ, TCEnergy, Enerkem, Stelco, Syncrude and Equispheres). In my research program, many of these projects depend heavily on access to a high temperature DSC. Our current DSC is from Setaram. It is 12 years old, obsolete, only reaches 1200C and is presently not operational. This temperature ceiling is inadequate for testing high temperature materials such as cobalt alloys, steels, NiBSi powders with WC and many slags. At least 15 diverse HQP need regular yearly access to a DSC and an additional 10 HQP are affected at the labs of our international collaborators. Access to a DSC provides modern innovative training in the state-of-the-art characterization techniques of materials. A plan for the sustainability of the DSC is proposed.

购买一台高温差示扫描量热计（DSC，一台NETZSCH的DSC 401 F1 Pegasus）对我的研究计划和HQP的培训是非常紧迫和关键的。校园里没有能达到2000C的DSC，也没有其他公司生产2000C的DSC。DSC要求样品被均匀加热，并测量由于相变或沉淀引起的任何额外的热能变化。因此，它提供了大量的测量，并且在提供可靠的近热力学平衡数据方面是独一无二的。当物质远离平衡（亚稳态）时，在DSC中运行该样品使其更接近平衡，DSC提供了与该事件相关的温度和焓的定量测量。因此，DSC提供了关于材料亚稳程度的关键加工信息，以及该材料恢复平衡的温度/时间路径对微观结构的影响。快速凝固、时效和回火)。这是由NSERC CR&D（与EVRAZ， tenergy, Enerkem, Stelco， Syncrude和Equispheres）资助的许多合作项目的关键仪器。在我的研究项目中，许多项目在很大程度上依赖于获得高温DSC。我们现在的DSC来自Setaram。它已经12岁了，过时了，温度只有1200摄氏度，目前不能运行。这个温度上限不适用于测试高温材料，如钴合金、钢、含WC的NiBSi粉末和许多炉渣。至少15个不同的HQP需要每年定期访问DSC，另外10个HQP在我们的国际合作伙伴的实验室中受到影响。访问DSC提供了最先进的材料表征技术的现代创新培训。提出了DSC可持续发展的计划。
