Conventional Vickers and true instrumented indentation hardness determined by instrumented indentation tests [PDF]
We evaluate Vickers hardness and true instrumented indentation test (IIT) hardness of 24 metals over a wide range of mechanical properties using just IIT parameters by taking into account the real contact morphology beneath the Vickers indenter ...

Experimental Study on the Melting Temperature, Microstructural and Improved Mechanical Properties of Sn58Bi/Cu Solder Alloy Reinforced with 1%, 2% and 3% Zirconia (ZrO2) Nanoparticles [PDF]
This paper investigates the influence of 1%, 2% and 3% zirconia (ZrO2) nanoparticles to the melting, microstructural and mechanical properties of the Sn58Bi solder. Melting temperatures of 145.11°C, 140.89°C and 143.84°C were attained correspondingly for

Proof verification and hardness of approximation problems
The class PCP(f(n),g(n)) consists of all languages L for which there exists a polynomial-time probabilistic oracle machine that used O(f(n)) random bits, queries O(g(n)) bits of its oracle and behaves as follows: If x in L then there exists an oracle y ...

Enhanced Hardness in High‐Entropy Carbides through Atomic Randomness
High‐entropy carbides (HECs) are of great interest as they are promising candidates for ultra‐high‐temperature and high‐hardness applications. To discover carbides with enhanced yield strength and hardness, mechanism‐based design approaches are needed ...

Shape-independent hardness estimation using deep learning and a GelSight tactile sensor [PDF]
Hardness is among the most important attributes of an object that humans learn about through touch. However, approaches for robots to estimate hardness are limited, due to the lack of information provided by current tactile sensors.

On the Cryptographic Hardness of Local Search [PDF]
We show new hardness results for the class of Polynomial Local Search problems (PLS): - Hardness of PLS based on a falsifiable assumption on bilinear groups introduced by Kalai, Paneth, and Yang (STOC 2019), and the Exponential Time Hypothesis for ...

Generally, metals are easy to wear, so material modification is needed to increase hardness to increase the material's resistance to wear and tear. One way is to do a hard chrome plating process using the electroplating method and then continue the heat ...

Determination of the absolute hardness of electrolytically produced copper coatings by application of the Chicot-Lesage composite hardness model [PDF]
In this study, a novel procedure, based on application of the Chicot–Lesage (C–L) composite hardness model, was proposed for the determination of an absolute hardness of electrolytically produced copper coatings.
