Nano-Indentation

sigresvMzr_CuMicro-mechanical characterisation studies are being carried out using facilities in the recently-established Cambridge Micromechanical Testing Centre (CAMTEC), which includes a unique resource in the form of 3 nanoindenters, with accessories which include hot and cold stages and a capability for operation under vacuum or in a controlled atmosphere environment.





Recent and ongoing work covers the nanoindentation characteristics of shape memory alloys and the extraction of creep parameters from nanoindentation data. Other interests include measurement of the interfacial fracture energy of thick and thin surface coatings and study of the micromechanical behaviour of metal hydrides over a range of temperature. Collaborative work is ongoing with several organisations, including MicroMaterials Limited and AWE.
