Nanoindentation testing is a high-precision instrumented indentation test technique that has the advantages of non-destructive testing and simplicity. However, researchers found that when testing the ...

The use of instrumented indentation in materials testing includes its widespread application in measurements of Young’s modulus and hardness on limited volumes of test material. Such situations ...

In a number of materials, the plastic stress that can be sustained depends on strain rate through a power-law relationship: higher stresses are sustained with higher strain rates and vice versa. In a ...

Nowadays, instrumented indentation is routinely used in quality control as well as in many different areas of industrial and academic research. This technique is generally known as nanoindentation ...

Techniques for testing in-service materials using portable indentation systems have been developed for more than 15 years. In one disadvantage, the techniques use material-specific parameters to ...

Choosing the correct tip for a nanoindentation application is essential. KLA Instruments ™ offers a range of high-precision indenter tips designed to meet the needs of demanding applications while ...

With the international transportation networks of oil and gas pipelines aging, automated ball indentation (ABI) testing provides a means of monitoring their structural integrity, particularly ...
