INTRODUCTION
Nanoindentation is a technique used to measure the mechanical properties of materials on the nanoscale. It is a form of mechanical testing that uses a sharp indent to make a small indentation into a material surface. By measuring the indentation depth and the applied force, nanoindentation can be used to calculate the material’s mechanical properties such as hardness, modulus, and yield strength.
Nanoindentation systems typically consist of a load frame, a load cell, an indenter, and a measurement system. The load frame is used to apply a force to the indenter as it is pressed into the material.
The load cell is used to measure the force applied to the indenter. The indenter is usually a very small diamond tip, making it possible to indent the surface of the material with a very small indentation depth. The measurement system is used to measure the indentation depth produced by the indenter.
Nanoindentation systems can be used to measure a variety of materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. By measuring the depth and force of the indentation, the mechanical properties of the material can be calculated. Nanoindentation has become an invaluable tool for researchers and engineers looking to understand the mechanical properties of materials on the nanoscale.
NANOINDENTATION SYSTEM MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST
The Global Nanoindentation system market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The first Nanoindentation tester was introduced by Anton Paar. Determining the hardness and elastic qualities of a material can be achieved using the highly complicated and costly technique of instrumented indentation testing.
Hit 300 is a high-end, incredibly reasonably priced nanoindentation tool designed for all users and all kinds of environments. For businesses who have not yet had the opportunity to test their surfaces internally using nanoindentation, Hit 300 ushers in a new era.
Hit 300 is incredibly durable in addition to being very reasonably priced. It can be installed directly on the manufacturing site because of its small size and vibration dampening. Real products of any size can be measured without the need for intricate preparation because of its user-oriented design.
Accuracy is guaranteed in all conditions by the active anti-vibration damping, the automated system allows for up to 600 measurements per hour, and the streamlined user interface is easy to use.
Every user can move from training to results in under one hour after a 15-minute startup. Hit 300 is a beautiful blend of strength and simplicity.Additionally, a special laser-targeting mechanism helps the operator target the sample with less than one millimetre of accuracy.
Additionally, the device is designed to train the mechanical engineers. All the necessary instructional materials for nanoindentation testing, including samples, practical tests, presentations, and more, are provided by Anton Paar in an education package.
The only method for determining a coating’s hardness and elastic modulus is indentation testing. The modest indentation depths needed to obtain accurate findings make thin coatings (0.5–5 µm) difficult to work with.
Hit 300 is a versatile instrument with a proven technology. It measures thin hard films (down to 200 nm) with remarkable accuracy thanks to its depth resolution of 0.01 nm, and its maximum load of 500 mN allows it to measure thick coatings of several µm.
Polymers are materials that change with time and have both viscous and elastic qualities. Viscoelastic characteristics of polymers are measured by nanoindentation in the dynamic mode of Hit 300. It may evaluate their polymer samples in coating or without coating, determining the storage modulus E’, loss modulus E”, and loss factor Tan ẗ.
