Deformation mechanism of WC single crystals under nanoindentation: Effects of surface defects and orientation on pop-in and hysteresis
Nanoindentation was carried out on pure tungsten carbide (WC) on the basal (0001) and prismatic (1010) planes, using Berkovich and spherical indenters, in both single load and multi-load testing. The work focuses on correlating the load-displacement curves, including elastic to plastic deformation,...
