Concentrated Solar Thermal Power

The AMDTR group is involved in the research and development of cutting edge technologies such as Concentrated Solar Thermal Power, which is paving the way forward to a sustainable future.
High Temperature Testing

With an extensive collection of tube and box furnaces, the AMDTR group has the capability to carry out high temperature exposure testing.
Corrosion Testing

With years of experience studying corrosion phenomena and access to a suite of analytical equipment that employ microscopy, spectroscopy and X-ray techniques, the AMDTR group is a leader in corrosion research.
Mechanical Testing

The AMDTR group can perform a multitude of strength tests to characterize materials that have been exposed to degrading environments such as molten salt.

QUT’s Advanced Materials Durability Testing and Research (AMDTR) Group focuses on the testing and characterisation of materials, which includes high temperature testing, strength testing and corrosion characterisation, for various technological applications. We provide data that aids in the development of novel technologies, such as concentrated solar thermal power, to improve the world around us and achieve a more sustainable future.
