Fracture toughness determination methods of WC-Co cemented carbide material at micro-scale from micro-bending method using nanoindentation

Determining toughness properties is crucial for the development of components made of brittle materials, especially at the microscale. Numerous methods rely on establishing a limit load that triggers the propagation of a pre-cracked specimen. The primary challenge lies in accurately and repeatably d...
