PVD Coatings’ Strength Properties at Various Temperatures by Nanoindentations and FEM Calculations Determined

Nanoindentation is usually applied on thin films at ambient temperatures for hardness determination. Recently, instruments for conducting nanoindentation at elevated temperatures have been developed facilitating measurements up to 700 oC. Both indenter and specimen, if necessary, are heated in an i...
