TMA is particularly useful for evaluating the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), glass transition-related dimensional changes in suitable materials, softening behavior, and temperature-dependent dimensional stability. Test conditions, including heating rate, applied force, atmosphere, and sample geometry, are selected according to the material properties and testing objectives.
Our TMA Testing Services
Eceshi provides TMA testing solutions for a variety of materials and engineering applications. Depending on the sample and test requirements, services include:
1. Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE): Measurement of dimensional expansion or contraction over a specified temperature range.
2. Dimensional Stability Testing: Evaluation of dimensional changes under controlled thermal conditions.
3. Softening Behavior Analysis: Investigation of temperature-dependent deformation under a defined probe force.
4. Thermal Shrinkage Analysis: Assessment of shrinkage and dimensional changes during heating.
5. Glass Transition-Related Analysis: Identification of dimensional changes associated with glass transition behavior where applicable.
6. Thermomechanical Deformation Testing: Evaluation of material deformation under controlled temperature and load conditions.
7. Comparative Material Analysis: Comparison of thermal expansion and deformation characteristics across different materials or production batches.
