TMA 512 Hyperion expansion and shrinkage comparison

NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing · Engineering measurement and characterization

Purpose: Separate thermal expansion, shrinkage and load-dependent deformation when comparing packaging materials or substrates.
Technical approach: TMA 512 measures specimen dimensional changes under defined loading and temperature programs, using expansion, penetration, tension or bending configurations.
Scope of use: For specimens with controlled orientation, dimensions and cure state. Select and Supreme configurations require separate confirmation.
Limitations and open questions: These evaluation considerations are compiled by BLNKK from public information. They are not supplier guarantees or a mandatory submission checklist.
Scope and limitations
Preload, moisture, softening and creep affect interpretation. Specimen dimensional change is not whole-package warpage or nondestructive delamination imaging of an assembly.
What to prepare
BLNKK suggests gathering material orientation, dimensions, cure/moisture state, thermal histories and the temperature intervals to compare.
Confirm with the supplier
Confirm model, furnace, holders, loading, atmosphere and baseline correction, and distinguish evaluation methods for CTE, irreversible shrinkage or time to delamination.
Public evidence: The brochure explains the method and holders, with condition-specific composite expansion and FR4 time-to-delamination examples.
