STA in Metallurgy: From Oxidation to Phase Changes

Metals and alloys require a detailed understanding of OxidationOxidation can describe different processes in the context of thermal analysis.oxidation resistance, melting behavior, and phase transformations, as these factors directly affect performance and service life. This webinar explains how STA can be used to investigate Thermal StabilityA material is thermally stable if it does not decompose under the influence of temperature. One way to determine the thermal stability of a substance is to use a TGA (thermogravimetric analyzer). thermal stability, OxidationOxidation can describe different processes in the context of thermal analysis.oxidation kinetics, and phase changes under inert, oxidizing, and reducing atmospheres.

You will also learn about practical options for extending your measurement capabilities, including steam addition, a heat-capacity (Specific Heat Capacity (cp)Heat capacity is a material-specific physical quantity, determined by the amount of heat supplied to specimen, divided by the resulting temperature increase. The specific heat capacity is related to a unit mass of the specimen.cp) furnace, specialized sample carriers, and high-temperature configurations.

Using examples from aluminum alloys, steels, solders, and turbine superalloys, the session demonstrates how STA data can support the definition of process windows, validation of heat treatments, and assessment of service life.

This webinar is intended for you if you develop, process, or qualify metals and alloys; require accurate melting and solidification data; or need to understand the influence of the measurement atmosphere on material behavior.
