The FT-HT04 High-Temperature Module enables heating of specimens. In combination with the FemtoTools Tip Heating Sensors, it makes isotherm nanomechanical testing of samples at various temperatures possible. Furthermore, to prevent the sample from oxidation, the chamber of the system can be flooded and controlled with inert gas.
The High-Temperature Module enables not only the measurement of materials properties evolution as a function of temperature, but also the quantitative study of thermally-induced changes in plastic deformation and fracture mechanisms at the nanoscale.
