Reports on Nanoindentation Findings from University of Witwatersrand Provide New Insights

摘要

2011 JUL 27 - (VerticalNews.com) -- According to the authors of recent researchrnfrom Johannesburg, South Africa, "The existence of the indentation size effect implies thernabsence of a single hardness value for the material under investigation especially at low appliedrnloads. In this paper we present an investigation of the indentation size dependence behaviour ofrnnanoindentation hardness in boron suboxide ceramic compacts prepared by uniaxial hotpressing."
