The KLA Nano Indenter G200 laser heater system (Figure1) is considered the most flexible and user-friendly instrument in the world and has been specifically developed for high-temperature mechanical ...

This application note evaluates the mechanical properties of titanium using displacement-controlled nanoindentation, including its elastic modulus and hardness. It correlates these physical ...

A "metal foam" that has a similar elasticity to bone could mean a new generation of biomedical implants that would avoid bone rejection that often results from more rigid implant materials, such as ...

Nanoindentation is a powerful technique used to measure the mechanical properties of materials at the nanoscale. It involves pressing a hard tip, typically made of diamond, into the surface of a ...

The entire stress-strain curve can now be determined using nanoindentation with a flat-ended cylindrical punch and novel analysis of the resulting force-displacement data 1. Unlike pyramidal indenters ...

Ceramics are defined as inorganic, non-metallic, polycrystalline carbide, nitride, or oxide materials. Some of their examples are Tungsten carbide, Silicon carbide, Zinc oxide, Titanium carbide, ...

Developing the ideal structural medical implant is a complicated task, and different applications require different approaches. We have reported on the need for higher strength titanium that allows ...

The reliability of soldered connections in electronic packaging depends on mechanical integrity; mechanical failure can cause electrical failure. Mechanical integrity, in turn, depends on mechanical ...
