Hardness is a powerful property to evaluate the deformation behavior of materials. It serves
as confident quality control for several processes, especially in the heat treatment of metals …

Hardness and fracture toughness are some of the most important mechanical properties.
Here, we propose a simple model that uses only the elastic properties to calculate the …

The materials used in engineering have seen a significant transformation in the
contemporary world. Numerous composites are employed to overcome these problems …

Particulate composites with A356 aluminium alloy as a matrix were produced by
compocasting process using ceramic particles (Al2O3, SiC) and graphite particles. The …

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are archetypes of microporous coordination
polymers/metal–organic frameworks whose versatile composition allows for diverse …

The possibility of adhesion/cohesion bond strength evaluation of thick plasma spray
coatings with scratch tester, according to the ISO working draft (ISO/WD 27307), was …

Using a focused ion beam TTX-NHT3 Nanoindentation tester with a load of 500 mN, we
study the micromechanical properties of laser-deposited AlCoCrFeNiCu high entropy alloy …

Nanoindentation is a relatively new technique which has been used to measure
nanomechanical properties of surface layers of bulk materials and of thin films. In this study …

Micro-indentation experiments were performed to study the correlation, both qualitatively
and quantitatively, between microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of …

In this study, the effects of both indenter sharpness and stiffness on the indentation response
of oxide glasses have been investigated. Using five different indenters, the indentation …
