MicroMaterials Nanomechanical Testing Technical Seminars

This is your chance to find out more about hardness, modulus, adhesion and toughness measurements at the nano and micro scale. Each seminar will provide an introduction to the theory, current research and live demonstrations. We will be holding these seminars in various locations during Spring 2011 including Oxford, Strathclyde, Swansea Universities and Imperial College. For more information and exact dates please go to www.lotoriel.co.uk

MicroMaterials are a world leading manufacturer in nanomechanical testing instruments. As the NanoTest is fully modular one can taylor experiments to replicate mechanical stress as it would be in the field, such as cutting tools at high temperature; the NanoTest incorporates a hot stage that allows nano and micro indentation even at elevated temperatures (up to 750°C ) with stability. Micro Materials also have the patented 'nano-impact' technique that enables ultra-low load fatigue wear testing.

The seminars are free of charge and include lunch and refreshments. As numbers are limited, early registration is recommended. To register please go to www.lotoriel.co.uk or call Angela Carslake on 01372 378822, e-mail angela@lotoriel.co.uk

Please note that the seminars will consist of talks and no demonstration equipment will be on display.
