| The High-Temperature Lab is equipped with specialized high-temperature equipment, including an environmental tube furnace, a thermocouple welding station, and a dual-color pyrometer. It also houses a highly customized Gleeble 563 Thermal Mechanical Simulator, used to measure the mechanical response of milli- to centimeter-sized specimens under isothermal or thermal shock conditions for a range of temperatures, strain rates, loading conditions, and environments. This high-temperature load frame is also compatible with the high-resolution optics in the Structural Materials Lab for integrated digital image correlation during mechanical deformation. |
