Nanoindentation analysis as a two-dimensional tool for mapping the mechanical properties of complex surfaces

Instrumented indentation (referred to as nanoindentation at low loads and low depths) has now become established for the single point characterization of hardness and elastic modulus of both bulk and coated materials. This makes it a good technique for measuring mechanical properties of homogeneous...
