Hot Nanoindentation of Nanocrystalline Ni-W Alloys

High-temperature nanoindentation experiments are conducted to assess the activation enthalpy for deformation of nanocrystalline Ni–W alloys, for grain sizes between 3 and 80 nm. Thermal softening becomes less pronounced at finer grain sizes, and the activation enthalpy has an apparent inflection at...
