Cryogenic Materialtests Karlsruhe
The laboratory for cryogenic material tests Karlsruhe is designed to meet the special requirements of various characterization methods, mainly in the temperature range from 4.2 K to room temperature.
Here, mechanical parameters as well as various physical properties can be determined. Microstructure investigations using X-ray diffraction, electron microscope or spectrometry allow a detailed analysis of the tested materials.
