Description

This solicitation invites offers for the supply of a Biaxial Micro-tensile Machine to be installed in a scanning electron microscope. The system will enable in situ testing of metals and alloys, generating force–displacement and stress–strain data, and potentially allow testing at varying temperatures. It facilitates direct observation of deformation, crack initiation, and propagation within the SEM. The research focuses on localized stress fields in advanced metal alloys used in nuclear, aerospace, and transportation industries.
