Problems solved by technology

The high-temperature stretching device placed in the SEM mentioned in "In-situ fatigue in an environmental scanning electronmicroscope-Potential and current limitations" published by G.Biallas and H.J.Maier can apply a large driving force and simultaneously load a high temperature of 750°C , but the sample size is at the millimeter level, it is difficult to achieve precise control of the deformation of micro-nano materials
Gatan Company of the United States and Dens solution of the Netherlands use two methods to realize the in-situ heating operation in the transmission electron microscope, which can observe the evolution information of the structure of the material at different temperatures, but cannot simultaneously apply a stress field to the material
The method mentioned in the article "Superplastic carbon nanotubes" published by J.Y.Huang et al. can realize the high-temperature deformation of carbon nanotubes, but due to the complicated connection and unloading structure placed in the sample chamber of the transmission electron microscope, the sample stage can only be tilted at a small angle (±5°C) or only uniaxial tilting (no more than ±20°C), it is difficult to observe crystal samples from the sub-angstrom and atomic scale under the low-index positive band axis, which limits its application range
Han Xiaodong et al. designed a tensile tester that can apply stress to materials in a specific temperature range in the transmission electron microscope in the patent "An in-situ TEM stretching platform for studying the mechanical properties of materials at a specific temperature" (patent application number: 201220320134.8). Stretch stage, simple in design, low in cost, can satisfy large-angle tilting, but the heating temperature is lower than 300°C, and the driving displacement of the sample cannot be precisely controlled

Abstract

Belonging to the field of material microstructure-mechanical property in situ characterization, the invention provides a transmission / scanning electron microscope mechanical-thermal coupling field loaded in-situ experimental platform. The platform is mainly composed of a heating and sample carrying zone, drive beams, heat sink beams, mass blocks and a substrate. The platform drive part is a V shaped electrothermal drive beam, the stepping precision can reach nanometer scale, and the deformation mode can realize uniaxial tension. The platform has a small overall size, can be placed in a small and narrow space at the front end of a multi-electrode TEM biaxial tilting sample rod, and can cooperate with the sample rod to perform biaxial tilting observation. The platform also can be used cooperatively with a scanning electron microscope and scanning electron microscope assembled accessories like various energy spectrums and microstructures (EBSD). When a material is heated and deforms, the deformation process of the material under a condition ranging from room temperature to high temperature (600DEG C) can be observed in situ at sub-angstrom, atom and nano scale to study the deformation mechanism and reveal the relationship between the microstructure and mechanical properties.
