Fracture toughness testing is critical to assess material resistance. Discover how nanoindentation can help testing it.

Nanoindentation is a powerful technique used to measure the mechanical properties of materials at the nanoscale. It involves pressing a hard tip, typically made of diamond, into the surface of a ...

Due to this, a wide range of indentation loads (from a few μN to 100 mN) and depths (from a few nm to 100 μm) are possible. UNHT³ is the pioneering nanoindentation tester that attains a low thermal ...

Nanoindentation techniques are used to examine the mechanical properties of a material at the nanoscale. An AFM or SPM probe is used as both an indenter and to image the indentation. Knowing the load ...
