Features of Measuring the Hardness of a Metal Surface Modified with Ultrafine Particles of Minerals
One of the important characteristics of the surface properties of metal parts subjected to friction is hardness. Hardness measurements are important for determining the operational characteristics of parts and monitoring the technological regimes of ...

Thermal-Mechanical Properties of Polyurethane-Clay Shape Memory Polymer Nanocomposites [PDF]
Shape memory nanocomposites of polyurethane (PU)-clay were fabricated by melt mixing of PU and nano-clay. Based on nano-indentation and microhardness tests, the strength of the nanocomposites increased dramatically as a function of clay content, which is

Indentation Size Effect on the Hardness of Silicon Carbide Ceramics [PDF]
The Vickers hardness of CVD SiC ceramics is determined as a function of the indentation load. Vickers hardness pyramid-shaped sharp diamond indenter with angle between opposite faces at an angle of 136° was used to apply five indentation loads of 4.91; 9.

The Effect of Nitrogen Flow Rate on the Loadbearing Capacity from Nano- to Macro-Hardness of Austenitic Stainless Steels Magnetron Sputtering-Coated with Stainless Steel Films [PDF]
UNS S31603 stainless steel (SS) substrates were covered by reactive magnetron-sputtering with protective SS coatings of the same steel specification. A mechanical characterization study (through nano-, micro- and macro-hardness tests) of samples obtained

Effect of Morphological Changes due to Increasing Carbon Nanoparticles Content on the Quasi-Static Mechanical Response of Epoxy Resin [PDF]
Mechanical failure in epoxy polymer and composites leads them to commonly be referred to as inherently brittle due to the presence of polymerization-induced microcrack and microvoids, which are barriers to high-performance applications, e.g., in ...

Investigation of the mechanism of the indentation size effect for titanium
In this study, we investigated the mechanism of the indentation size effect for Ti, whose crystal structure is hexagonal close-packed. Indentation tests were performed for two types of single-crystal Ti with different crystal orientations: (0001) and ...

A contact area function for Berkovich nanoindentation : Application to hardness determination of a TiHfCN thin film [PDF]
In nanoindentation, especially at very low indenter displacements, the indenter/material contact area must be defined in the best possible way in order to accurately determine the mechanical properties of the material.
