Newly developed high-entropy alloys (HEA), which are useful for high-temperature applications, show superior mechanical properties at elevated temperatures when compared to conventional superalloys or ...
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 ...
A common technique used to characterize the mechanical properties of bulk polymer specimens is known as DMA or Dynamic Mechanical Analysis. It is a technique in which oscillatory stress is placed on ...
Using Nanovea’s Mechanical Tester in indentation mode, with a cylindrical flat tip, it’s possible to obtain tensile-yield strength data that correspond directly to macro tensile data. Nanovea, a ...
In Session 2 of the KLA Instruments Indentation University, we cover nanoindentation testing for an industrial coating on Tungsten Carbide (WC). Industrial coatings are used for tool dies, die parts, ...
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 ...
