The Development of High Temperature Nanoindentation
Sponsored by Alemnis AGMay 26 2021
High-temperature nanoindentation is a popular method with numerous applications in materials science, bioscience, coatings and additive manufacturing. The method is generally utilized for the investigation of the mechanical properties of materials at small length scales.
Since mechanical properties are usually temperature-dependent, the development of high-temperature nanoindentation will have a significant impact relative to industrial applications where materials are used or processed at high temperatures.
The Development of Nanoindentation
Indentation tests cover a range of techniques for identifying the mechanical properties of materials.
These tend to follow the same format: indent a test material with a probe until an impression is created, and characterize the mechanical properties of this material dependent on the size of the load, displacement of the indenter and samp
