Nano Indenter
Accurate mechanical testing in the mili to nano range of loads and displacements
- Basic hardness and Young‘s modulus characterization at specific depth from few nm onwards.
- Measuring Young‘s modulus and hardness in compliance with ISO 14577
- Dynamic characterization through continuous determination of stiffness as a function of depth
- Scanning uses a stage to traverse the sample under the tip while the tip is engaged to generate an image or surface roughness
- Quantitative scratch and wear testing
- Coefficient of friction determination
