Optional SPM imaging enables nanometer-precision positioning and targeted testing of specific microstructural features, making the NanoTest Xtreme ideal for aerospace, nuclear, energy, and advanced materials research.
KEY FEATURES
Extreme Temperature Testing (-150 °C to 1200 °C)
Characterize materials from -150 °C to 1200 °C under high vacuum. The NanoTest Xtreme enables realistic evaluation of mechanical properties, deformation behavior, and tribological performance under service-relevant temperatures for aerospace, nuclear, energy, and advanced manufacturing applications.
Vacuum-Enabled Environmental Control
High-vacuum operation down to 10⁻⁷ mbar prevents oxidation at elevated temperatures and frosting at cryogenic temperatures. Optional gas backfilling enables application-specific environments, ensuring accurate characterization of temperature-sensitive materials, coatings, and advanced alloys under realistic operating conditions.
Exceptional Thermal Stabilit
Ultra-low thermal drift, as low as 0.05 nm/s, enables highly stable long-duration experiments. Accurately measure creep, stress relaxation, and temperature-dependent deformation even at extreme temperatures, providing reliable data for advanced materials research and lifetime performance prediction.
Precision Targeting & Indent Placement
Optional SPM imaging provides nanometer-scale positioning accuracy for precise indentation placement and feature targeting. Analyze individual phases, grain boundaries, coatings, and micro-fabricated structures while maintaining exceptional accuracy across the full temperature range.
Comprehensive Nanomechanical Characterization
Combine nanoindentation, scratch, wear, friction, impact, and fretting testing within a single integrated platform. With load ranges from nano-Newtons to 30 N, the NanoTest Xtreme delivers unmatched flexibility for comprehensive mechanical and tribological characterization of advanced materials.
