DIL 805A/D/T further extends the capabilities to alternate tensile and compressive loading to emulate mill processing.  Moreover, tensile loading to fracture lends additional information about the material’s final performance and allows to generate true-stress vs true-strain or stress/strain cycling plots.

DIL 805A represents today the benchmark for determining these dimensional changes and phase transitions. Operating from -160°C up to 1700°C (in two different furnace configurations) with peak heating rates of up to 4000°C/s and peak cooling rates of 4000°C/s, can closely simulate the material response for any production or heat treatment process. DIL 805A allow using a choice of inert and reducing gases as cooling gas. Particularly helium is an effective cooling gas that provides a homogeneous temperature distribution in the metallic sample.

DIL 805L represents today the benchmark for determining these dimensional changes and phase transitions. Operating from -160°C up to 1500°C (in two different furnace configurations) with peak heating rates of up to 4000°C/s and peak cooling rates of 4000°C/s, can closely simulate the material response for any production or heat treatment process. DIL 805L allow using a choice of inert and reducing gases as cooling gas. Particularly helium is an effective cooling gas that provides a homogeneous temperature distribution in the metallic sample.

The DIL 805A/D, on top of the quenching mode, is distinguished by its capability to deform the specimen with controlled deformation rates of of 0.01 to 200 mm/s. Used to optimize steel processes like hot or cold rolling, DIL 805A/D allows to develop time-temperature-transformation diagrams after deformation (DTTT) and is also used to examine creep and relaxation processes.
