NanoXCT - Compact X-ray computed tomography system for nondestructive characterization of nano materials

E-mail Print PDF

Within the past decades, advances in miniaturization from micro to nano-scale have had dramatic impacts on our lives. Consumer electronics, which once occupied large volumes, now fit in the palm of a hand. But nanotechnology does not only improve in electronics. Also material sciences, chemical engineering, or biology are strongly profiting from nanotechnology. The tremendous achievements in all of these areas would not have been possible without the material analytics in behind.

K-Project for Non Destructive Testing and Tomography

E-mail Print PDF

The need for NDT methods is driven by the development/innovation of new products, materials and technologies and by the demand for enhanced quality control and cost reduction in industry. Many countries have already established specialized research centre for NDT. With the K-Project an applications-orientated NDT research centre will be created in Austria concentrating and strengthening research on modern NDT methods and application in the country. The combined expertise on NDT-methods and applications-oriented materials science will build a unique knowledge base with regard to non-destructive evaluation.
The main focus will be on the following methods:

  • Multi-scale X-ray computed tomography down to high resolutions below 500 nm
  • Optical coherence tomography for analysis of defects and strain
  • Active thermography for quantitative analysis as well as photo acoustics and non-contact ultrasound for structural investigations
  • Data evaluation methods for quantitative heterogeneity and critical defect analysis.

Kunststoff-Standort Oberösterreich

E-mail Print PDF

01.01.2007 - 31.12.2011

Goal of this projetct is the establishment of R&D focus on plastic- processing and charakterisation at the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences. The Results of this project should provided to companys in Upper Austria. The project is financed by the Government of Upper Austria. Within the project "Kunststoffstandort Oberösterreich" the Research Group "Computed Tomography" of the FH-Wels deals with the characterisation of plastics due to non-destructive testing with x-ray computed tomography.

SmartCT - Precise geometry extraction and interface characterization of multi-material components using cone beam CT

E-mail Print PDF

01.01.2009 - 31.12.2011

The quality of a 3D computer tomography scan depends to a large extent on the environmental conditions of the measurement and the parametrization of the 3DCT system. The three-year Bridge project "Smart CT“ with a project extent of 388.600€ is based on the idea of generating an optimal data basis for the 3D-measurement of the complete geometry of a multimaterial component. The major goal is it to make 3DCT devices capable of dimensional measurement of multi-material components and therefore to significantly extend the application areas of 3DCT.

Sub-µm-CT - 3D-Micro-Characterisation of Fibre- Composite- and Foam materials using Sub-µm– X-ray Computed Tomography

E-mail Print PDF

01.1.2009 - 31.11.2011

Composite, Fibre and Foam materials on basis of polymeric and natural materials are widely used for high-tech applications and boomed the last decades both technologically as well as economically. The development of new materials and manufacturing techniques require new testing methods to optimise manufacturing process and maintain the quality during manufacturing.
Content of the project will be the investigation of a representative sample of materials and the development of algorithms for 3D characterisation.
The main focus lies on structures on a geometrical scale of 1 mm to 0,4 µm.
The support of large scale industry as well as high-tech small and medium-sized businesses from material-, polymer-, paper industry and in succession from automotive-, aeronautic-, consumer goods- and leisure industry to improve the quality of the products is the aim.
