4. Testing Modes
- In-Situ SPM Imaging
Identify topographical features indicating pre-imaging for test site specification, and the perform tests with highly-accurate positioning and placement. Acquire additional information about the deformation in post-scanning, and measure quantitative RMS Surface Roughness.
- Nanoindentation
Measure Young’s modulus, hardness, fracture toughness and other mechanical properties via nanoindentation.
- Nanowear
By accurately controlling the amount of load applied to a sample, different levels of wear can be observed. With a maximum load of 100 µN, Hysitron TI Premier can accurately test wear properties of various materials.
