Mechanical testing setup for in situ XRD

  • Measurement of stress-strain curves upon uniaxial tension or compression
  • In situ XRD studies of structure and phase transformations upon mechanical load and heating

Technical details

  • Samples: metallic ribbons or bone-shaped bulk samples (30 mm length)
  • Sample environment: vacuum of ~10-4 mbar
  • Sample heating: Joule-heating
  • Temperature measurement by infrared pyrometer
  • Designed for synchrotron XRD measurements at PETRA III, DESY Hamburg
