Bruker Webinar : In Situ Cryogenic Testing

Date: Thursday 7 Setpmber 2023

Time: 3am NZST, 1am AEST, 11pm (Wed 6 Sept)

Deformation processes are often thermally activated, including a reduction in plasticity and tendency towards fracture as temperatures drop. In this webinar, three case studies will be presented that show how PI Cryo can be used to explore deformation caused by in situ mechanical loading under cryogenic conditions:

• Observing detwinning behavior that has been linked to anti-thermal behavior via atomistic simulations
• Identifying the ductile-to-brittle temperature transition in a variety of carbon steels, with some unanticipated outcomes
• Performing pillar compression in an austenitic stainless steel, and comparing to ex situ cryogenic steel

Join this webinar to learn about how PI Cryo can facilitate understanding of deformation processes at cryogenic temperatures. Guest speaker Prof. Gregory Thompson and Bruker Applications Scientist Eric Hintsala, Ph.D. will discuss thermally-activated deformation processes and the value of performing in-situ mechanical loading at cryogenic temperatures with PI Cryo. Three case studies will be presented to showcase this capability and its insight into the mechanical behavior of materials at such low temperatures.
