Microscope imaging
In microscope applications, many of the imaging and vision techniques that are generally applied in industrial macro-environments are not suitable because of several constraints imposed by the micro-environment
Thermal analysis (TGA, TG-MS, ATD-GCMS)
The Materials and Engineering Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Institute within Sheffield Hallam is offering thermal analysis (TGA, TG-MS, ATD-GCMS) services to internal and external businesses.
Friction and wear testing facilities
The tribometer is applied to evaluate the friction and wear properties of various materials, such as hard coatings, hardened metals and ceramics, soft and solid lubricant materials.
Hardness Testing
Hardness of materials has probably long been assessed by resistance to scratching or cutting
Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of Scanning Probe Microscopy that can be operated in air or water
High Performance Computing - Beowulf Cluster
High performance computing clusters are used to solve advanced analytical, numerical and computational problems. Uses for high performance range from data storage and analysis, simulations, modelling, data mining, software development and fast mathematical calculations
