Nanoindentation Fast Mapping of Ceramics

Nanoindentation has become a widely applied technique for measuring mechanical behaviours of materials at small scales. The high-resolution load-displacement curves from the nanoindentation measurement can provide a variety of physicomechanical properties including hardness, Young’s modulus, creep, fracture toughness and many others.

One significant bottleneck for further popularisation of the nanoindentation technique is time consumption. A mechanical property mapping by conventional nanoindentation procedure can easily take hours so this hinders the application of the technique in the mass production industries, such as semiconductor, aerospace, MEMS and many others.

Nanovea are working to overcome this and have published an application note which demonstrates how its mechanical tester in fastmap mode can map the mechanical property of a floor tile at high speeds.

Besides ceramics, fastmap mode for nanoindentation can be used across a variety of industries where understanding area properties of a sample are desirable.
