Standards-quality nanoindentation instruments

 

Diamond indenters
Berkovich, Vickers, Knoop, Sphero-cones, supplied with Area function calibration. Special purpose probes also available.
AFM systems.
DS95-200: 200 x 200 um scan size; <0.3 nm X,Y,Z resolution; 15 um z range; >1.5 mm approach. Download Information Sheet
Standard specimens
Optical grade fused silica and sapphire disks optionally mounted on hardened and ground steel specimen mounts.
Lateral Force (Scratch) Tester
Lateral force sensor enables measurement of friction coefficient with IBIS. Download Information Sheet
Finite Element Analysis
Programmed interface to a commercially available FEA program means that you can perform numerical simulations by simply filling in data entry boxes - nominate your indenter shape and size, film thickness, E, Y and v, and press the button - the software automatically builds the mesh, arranges contact elements, and performs a non-linear elastic-plastic analysis. Full stress field, and a load displacement curves are provided as outputs. Download Information Sheet
Acoustic Emission Sensor
Specialised ultrasonic microphone embedded in a specimen mount for monitoring of acoustic emission phenomena during an indentation test. Download information sheet
