Summary
In-situ nanomechanical testing for materials under extreme environments. This project aims to establish a state-of-the-art in-situ nanomechanical testing capability for materials under extreme environments. A cutting-edge nanoindentation stage with customisable modules, as well as an optimally configured scanning electron microscope, will enable this capability for the first time in Australia. The expected outcomes will provide valuable insights into how microstructures affect mechanical propert ....In-situ nanomechanical testing for materials under extreme environments. This project aims to establish a state-of-the-art in-situ nanomechanical testing capability for materials under extreme environments. A cutting-edge nanoindentation stage with customisable modules, as well as an optimally configured scanning electron microscope, will enable this capability for the first time in Australia. The expected outcomes will provide valuable insights into how microstructures affect mechanical properties at temperatures ranging from -150 to 1000 °C, strain rates from 10E-5/s to 10E5/s, and liquid environments. The resulting knowledge will guide the development of structural materials that withstand harsh environmental conditions, thereby advancing Australia's advanced manufacturing and sustainable energy sectors.Read moreRead less
