Conventional Vickers and true instrumented indentation hardness determined by instrumented indentation tests

چکیده
We evaluate Vickers hardness and true instrumented indentation test (IIT) hardness of 24 metals over a wide range of mechanical properties using just IIT parameters by taking into account the real contact morphology beneath the Vickers indenter. Correlating the conventional Vickers hardness, indentation contact morphology, and IIT parameters for the 24 metals reveals relationships between contact depths and apparent material properties. We report the conventional Vickers and true IIT hardnesses measured only from IIT contact depths; these agree well with directly measured hardnesses within 6% for Vickers hardness and 10% for true IIT hardness.

Influencing Parameters of Equivalent Indentation Test
−A newly developed hardness test based on equivalent indentation depth is currently expected to be the only hardness test method that enables seamless evaluations of hardness across different hardness scales in all load ranges from nanoscopic to macroscopic in an industrial friendly manner because the new method is free from the shortcomings of the instrumented indentation method, which require...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was the characterization of mechanical properties of representative types of orthodontic wires employing instrumented indentation testing (IIT) according to ISO 14577. METHODS Segments were cut from ten wires. The first six are made of stainless steel (SS), two are made of Ni-Ti, and the last two are made of titanium molybdenum alloys (TMA). Then, the Martens ...
متن کاملInference of Mechanical Properties from Instrumented Depth Sensing Indentation at Tiny Loads and Indentation Depths
Different hardness measures as Vickers, Brinell and Meyer hardness are discussed with respect to their physical interpretation. Meyer hardness is found to be best suited as a measure of plastic properties. The outline of a depth sensing nanoindentation experiment is described, and particular emphasis is given to the correct deduction of the contact area from indenter penetration data. Experimen...
متن کاملEffective indenter radius and frame compliance in instrumented indentation testing using a spherical indenter
We introduce a novel method to correct for imperfect indenter geometry and frame compliance in instrumented indentation testing with a spherical indenter. Effective radii were measured directly from residual indentation marks at various contact depths (ratio of contact depth to indenter radius between 0.1 and 0.9) and were determined as a function of contact depth. Frame compliance was found to...
متن کاملComputational Modeling of the Forward and Reverse Problems in Instrumented Sharp Indentation
A comprehensive computational study was undertaken to identify the extent to which elastoplastic properties of ductile materials could be determined from instrumented sharp indentation and to quantify the sensitivity of such extracted properties to variations in the measured indentation data. Large deformation finite element computations were carried out for 76 different combinations of elasto-...
