Understanding High-Temperature Nanoindentation - Micro Material UK

High-temperature nanoindentation is a technique used to measure the mechanical properties of materials, such as hardness and elastic modulus, at elevated temperatures. It extends traditional nanoindentation by incorporating heating elements to test materials under thermal conditions that simulate real-world applications, such as in aerospace, automotive, and energy industries.

Key Features:

  1. Controlled Heating – Both the sample and the indenter tip are heated to minimize thermal drift.
  2. Small-Scale Testing – Allows localized mechanical property measurement at the nanoscale.
  3. Time-Dependent Studies – Enables the study of creep, stress relaxation, and phase transformations at high temperatures.

Applications:

  • Evaluating materials used in high-temperature environments (e.g., turbine blades, coatings, and ceramics).
  • Studying thermal effects on mechanical properties.
  • Understanding deformation mechanisms in metals, alloys, and composites.
