Macromechanical Lab
The equipment installed in the macromechanical lab is designed for conducting research aimed at increasing the understanding of the of hydrogen on materials mechanical properties through:
All mechanical test can be performed in a temperature range between -20°C and 200°C and under pressurized hydrogen gas up to 500 bar. H
2O and O
2 sensors allow for full control of the gas composition during the test. In addition, the presence of 2 zirconium glass built in the autoclave enables for no-contact visual inspection of the specimen during testing through video based technique
such as Digital Image Correlation, Infrared-based temperature evolution and high speed camera.
