Universities and Research Institutions

Instrumented indentation testing is an essential tool in universities and research institutions for basic research in new material development, nanotechnology, biomaterial analysis, and other fields.

When developing new materials such as metallic alloys, ceramics, and composites, instrumented indentation testing is used to evaluate properties based on microstructural changes. It is especially useful for evaluating the properties of welded joints, microstructural strength distribution, and 3D printed materials at the nanoscale and microscale.

Establishing property criteria required for various industrial applications and reflecting them in research

Coatings and thin films significantly affect a material’s wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and electrical properties. Instrumented indentation testing is required to quantitatively evaluate these characteristicsand establish standardized criteria for various industrial applications.

Biomaterials require precise evaluation of specific mechanical properties when interacting with the human body. Analyzing the surface characteristics of biomaterials, such as artificial joints and dental implants, is essential for developing materials with suitable physical properties for human compatibility.

Nanotechnology applications need instrumented indentation testing for precise measurement of mechanical properties down to the nanoscale. It is used to analyze the strength and deformation properties of small mechanical and electronic components, such as semiconductors and MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems).
