Cryogenic analysis can be done independently on materials subject to Cryotron’s wear process at the University of Alberta; in labs equipped with the following equipment:

​

• Tribocope - a combination of an atomic force microscope and a nano-mechanical probe

• Universal micro-tribometer - has the capability to monitor electrical contact resistance, acoustic emission and frictional force during wear, indentation and scratch tests on micro-scale and macro-scale

• Scanning Kelvin Probe - determines surface electron work function

• Fischer Scope - Micromechanical probe

• High-temperature air - jet erosion tester

• High-temperature air - jet erosion tester

• Electrochemical scratch apparatus - for corrosive wear studies

• Electrochemical measurement system - for corrosion studies

• Dry sand/Rubber - wheel abrasion tester

• Slurry-pot erosion tester with temperature control

• Pin-on-dics wear testers

• Air-jet erosion tester

• Pulse and direct current electrodeposition system

• Differential scanning calorimetry system

• Bell Jar vacuum melting furnace

• Automated friction measurement

• Laser thermometer

• Computing facilities
