Service life and aging effects TIM

Service life and aging effects TIM

An important property for thermal interface materials is their resistance to Aging effects. For this purpose, the ZFW offers a large number of examination options with which service life tests can be carried out. This also includes self-developed methods.

ZFW Multiparameter Teststand (MPT)

A further development of our TIM tester enables measurements of the thermal resistance under cyclical long-term temperature loads (power cycling).

 Vibration Tester (VT)

  • Investigation of the mechanical stress caused by high-frequency vibrations and the resulting change in thermal resistance
  • Tensile and compressive loads in the sub-micrometer range
Further information

Climate room

Preconditioning and storage of a sample from -40 to 180 ° C with a defined relative humidity of up to 99%.
  • Temporal and cyclical aging tests (thermal resistance) as a result of temperature and ambient humidity
Further information

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)

Measurement of the change in mass as a function of temperature and time.
  • Investigation of the thermal stability
  • Extrapolation of thermal failure of the samples (Arrhenius)
