Thermo-Mechanical Analyzer (TMA) Analytical Service

Overview

A Thermo-Mechanical Analyzer (TMA) is widely applicable in fields such as polymer plastics, ceramics, metals, construction materials, refractory materials, and composite materials. The basic principle of this technique involves measuring the deformation of a sample under a specific load and temperature program (including heating, cooling, isothermal, and their combinations).

Using a Thermo-Mechanical Analyzer, the following material properties can be studied:

• Linear expansion and contraction
• Glass transition temperature
• Densification and sintering processes
• Optimization of heat treatment processes
• Softening point detection
• Phase transition processes
• Reaction kinetics analysis

Sample Requirements

For testing, solid samples are preferred, although powders can also be tested with a required amount of 2g, though their data may hold less significance. For compression mode, the maximum sample height is 25mm, and the diameter is 10mm. For tensile testing, samples should be 20–30mm in length, less than 3.5mm in width (ideally around 3mm), and less than 0.5mm in thickness. Thicker samples may require the use of a compression probe instead.

To ensure reliable results, it is recommended to send three identical specimens for each sample.
