Abstract: Hardness tests are performed to determine not only hardness but also other properties such as strength, wear resistance, and deformation resistance. They are also performed to predict residual ...

Abstract: The continuous indentation test, which applies an indentation load to a material and records the indentation depth, yields indentation tensile properties whose accuracy can vary depending on such ...

Abstract: The instrumented indentation test, which measures indentation tensile properties, has attracted interest recently because this test can replace uniaxial tensile test. An international standard for ...
