Cost-effective nanoindentation measuring system for determining the Indentation Hardness, the Indentation Modulus, the Martens Hardness HM, characteristic elastic quantities and additional material parameters in the micro and nanometer range, using the instrumented indentation test according to ISO 14577-1 and ASTM E 2546.
For bulk material and coatings thicker than 1 μm (0.04 mils).
Ample load and depth range; can be used for a broad range of applications from polymeric automotive clear coats to ceramic diamond-like carbon coatings
Compact design makes the HM2000S and ideal tool for all environments
Most samples can be measured quickly and without special sample preparation.
Measurement of dark surfaces without sample pretreatment
Good thermal stability allows for measurement of rate-dependent material properties of polymers
Indentation: Vickers, Berkovich or spherical indentors are available
Optional: Stone plate with silicon damper pads to reduce influence of vibrations
Easy operation through the customizable WIN-HCU®Software
Typical fields of applications
Paint, synthetic or hard material coatings (PVD, CVD)
Electroplated coatings (decorative, functional)
Materials used specifically in medical technology applications
