News Spotlight on Materials Characterisation

This month we are featuring our Advanced Materials Characterisation Centre. Here are two case studies about recent applications leading to the development of new analysis techniques.

New X-ray Diffraction Method for High Temperature Applications

This X-ray Diffraction (XRD) method increases temperature analysis capability up to 1600 degrees centigrade.




New X-ray Fluorescence Method for High Purity Refractory Materials

This new X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) method provides refractory manufacturers a practical and accurate method for routine XRF analysis of high purity refractory materials.


The Advanced Materials Characterisation Centre is an international centre for steel and metals characterisation and investigation. More details here -
