It is a technique for studying the mechanical properties of samples to study stiffness, elasticity, adhesion of various nanomaterials. It can be analyzed in the modes as follows: – Nano-indentation test: Use a small indenter at the nanometer scale – micrometer to press the sample surface to be measured with the specified force to study the strength and pressure resistance of the specimen surface or coating. – Nano-scratch test: Drag the indenter onto the workpiece surface with the specified force to study the strength and scratch-resistance of the workpiece or coating. – Nano-wear test: Use the indenter to drag an area with a specified pressure to study the strength and adhesion of the coating or coating of the workpiece. – High temperature control: Able to measure the mechanical properties of the workpiece that changes with temperature The mechanical properties of samples can be studied in both dry and wet conditions, and solid or powder samples can be measured. For example, nanometer-thin films, metal sheets, coatings of various materials, glass panels, wood panels, plastics, metal powders, powders including various types of nanomaterials, etc.
