Abstract

Techniques and instruments for the determination of mechanical properties of materials by scratch and indentation curves are discussed. The capabilities and advantages of the indentation techniques at different scale levels of the deformed volume are shown. A new technique for the hardness determination by the indentation curve of a pyramid is proposed. The scope of application of the indentation techniques for testing mechanical properties of materials is determined.
