Deakin’s materials science labs allow for the evaluation, development and redesign of materials for specific properties and improved performance characteristics. Correlative characterisation and tomography of material properties for computer-based simulations and analysis can be undertaken.
Detailed analysis of the electro-chemical behaviours of materials in various simulated corrosive/erosive environments can be performed as well as cathodic protection and inhibition of industrial infrastructure (oil and gas pipelines and re-enforced concrete structures).
Put your ideas to the test
Our equipment enables a wide range of testing criteria and is designed for use by all engineering disciplines as well as internal and external stakeholders. With the facilities provided you can:
- conduct an extensive range of material tests for metals, polymers and organic materials
- undertake stress and failure analysis
- make use of a wide range of testing and analytical equipment
- evaluate, predict and measure service life of metallic materials and related infrastructure
- collect and use of data for redesign and development of new and improved materials
- analyse and evaluate localised corrosion properties of additively manufactured alloys.
