Current Research in Indentation and Scratch Testing

A major focus of current research is in continuously recording indentation tests (CRIT) such as Nanoindentation. The work described below is being carried out on our Triboindenter and Nanoindenter II and is supported by post facto AFM and high resolution SEM analysis.

Nanoindenter II

Current research areas include:-
