Nanoindentation | For measuring hardness, modulus, visco-elastic behavior and study of variation of hardness and modulus with depth. It allows mapping of mechanical properties across an area of interest. |
Micro Indentation | The 30 N high load head greatly expands the capability of the NanoTest Vantage to cover both the nano and micro ranges. The high load head can be used for Micro-indentation / Micro-hardness, Micro-impact and fatigues, Micro scratch and wear |
Nano-scratch and wear | For access of critical scratch loads and friction properties, investigate cycles to failure for wear prediction. |
Nano-impact and fatigue | For study of fracture and fatigue behavior, to measure material damping coefficients and investigate high strain rate behavior. |
Nano-fretting | For accelerated reciprocating wear test and high cycle investigation (up to 1 million cycles) |
High Temperature | This option allows (1) Nanoindentation (2) Nano-Scratch & Wear (3) Nano-Impact & Fatigue to be performed at temperatures of up to 850 ºC. |
Imaging | NanoTest system is supplied with a multiple objective microscope, and can have the options of In-Situ 3D profiler / Nanopositioning stage and AFM. |
Liquid Cell | This allows Nanoindentation, Nano-scratch & Wear testing of samples fully immersed in liquid. |
Humidity Cell | This allows the study on how the mechanical properties of materials are affected by humidity |
