A nanoindenter is the main component for indentation hardness tests used in nanoindentation. Since the mid-1970s nanoindentation has become the primary method for measuring and testing very small volumes of mechanical properties.
Nanoindentation is the latest technology that enables researchers to measure mechanical properties such as modulus and hardness of materials in different shapes, sizes and scales. Nanoindentation is a robust technique for determination of mechanical properties.
By combining the application of low loads, measuring the resulting displacement, and determining the contact area between the tip of the indenter and the sample a wide range of mechanical properties are able to be measured.
The nanoindentation test is a useful technique for characterizing various mechanical properties (e.g., hardness, elastic modulus, and viscoelasticity) of materials ranging from hard alloys to soft biomaterials. The parameters measured during the nanoindentation test include the loading force and the indentation depth.
Global nanoindenter ( nanoindenter) market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
CETR introduces NEW Nanoindenter and Scratcher – APEX Optional imaging modules include integrated AFM, 3D Profiler and a High magnification optical microscope. They image the sample immediately after the test without its removal.
Both NH-3 and MH-2 modules can be used to indent (to measure hardness, Young’s modulus, Von Mises Stress, etc.) or scratch the material (to do scratch adhesion, scratch-hardness) as well as wear and friction at nano and micro scales.
Apex has been designed for thin-films, pvd & cvd coatings, hard coatings, microelectronics, magnetic and optical media, solar cells, MEMS, bio-films, etc.
The tool comes with numerous useful features such as a large library of standards for calculating material properties, user defined algorithm and models, customised programmable recipes, advanced statistical analysis software for comprehensive fundamental materials research.
CETR has already shipped the first two units; one to a leading university in Asia and other to a famous academic institute in Europe.
The continuous success of CETR products is due to its unique leading-edge technologies, including the proprietary multi-sensing technology with high-sample-rate data-acquisition hardware and software, highest-accuracy force sensors and amplifiers, high-frequency acoustic emission sensors and amplifiers, etc.
Its products can perform multitudes of operations to characterise nano, micro and macro mechanical and tribological properties under harsh environmental conditions (high and low temperatures and humidity, vacuum, gases, etc), and have become the unwritten standard for both multiple industries and basic research.
