Additive manufacturing (AM) has a wide range of applications across many industries including aerospace, automotive, healthcare and construction. The metal powders used in AM are the building blocks on which the technique is based. In order to ensure the production […]
Surface treatments, such as nitriding, coatings, and shot peening, are invaluable to industry as a method to improve the functional and mechanical behavior of parts without changing the primary material. Nitriding is a surface heat treatment process by which significant […]
Mechanical microscopy allows the imaging of mechanical property variations at multiple length scales. Nanoindentation mapping is usually performed at the microstructural length scale, but many manufacturing processes create property variations on larger scales, e.g. case hardening, nitriding, or designed variations […]
Oxford Instruments’ Raman imaging team announces a refreshed core microscope line and a groundbreaking new spectrometer: Hexalight. Together, the witec360 microscope and Hexalight spectrometer constitute the most advanced confocal Raman imaging system yet devised. The witec360 Raman microscope is an […]
Oxford Instruments Asylum Research today announced the launch of the new Cypher VRS1250 video-rate atomic force microscope (AFM). Twice as fast as the first-generation Cypher VRS, the new AFM enables scan rates up to 1250 lines/second and frame rates up […]
