Project

TEM experiments.

This agreement allows Drs. Tong Yang from the Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China, to join in TEM experiments at the EMAT laboratory of the University of Antwerp, Belgium, on 5 samples provided by Prof. Dr. Yaoxue Zhang and Prof. Dr. Kai Li of the State Key Lab of Powder Metallurgy, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China. A systematic method will be established for quantitative characterization of multiscale 3D structure experiments of Al alloys. The samples will be investigated using in-situ nanomechanical testing with the Push-to-Pull Hysitron sample holder in the Osiris and/or Tecnai microscopes and by analytical characterization on Titan instruments. The samples will be produced by FIB or electropolishing at the EMAT laboratory by or with the support of EMAT personnel. The TEM experiments will be conducted by Drs. Tong Yang under supervision and with support of EMAT researchers and staff. Sessions on FIB and TEM instruments will be designated following regular EMAT rules.
