Metallography

CZM uses various machines, measuring and testing devices to qualitatively and quantitatively describe and assess the metallic structure of materials. The following list contains the tools and instruments used for this purpose.

Surface treatment

  • Semi-automatic and fully automatic cut-off machine
  • Fully automatic grinding and polishing machines
  • Balzer SCD O40 vaporizing machine

Microscopy

  • Macro microscope Olympus SZX 9
  • Leica CTR-6000 reflected light microscope
  • Scanning electron microscope CamScan "Series 4"

Testing and measuring instruments

  • IMS image analysis
  • Leitz Dilatometer
  • Ferrite content meter
  • Hommel roughness meter
  • Oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen analyzer G8 GALILEO
    (carrier gas melt extraction method)
  • EDX light elements X-ray analysis
  • Magnetic particle and metal check Crack testing
  • Krautkrämer Echograph 1054 ultrasound device
  • Semi-automatic and fully automatic micro-macro hardness measuring devices
    for Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell, Knoop hardness and UCI (ultrasonic hardness)
  • MeX topographic reconstruction software
