The Ultra Nano Hardness Tester is the highest accuracy Nano Hardness Tester on the market.
The nano indentation technique is part of a recent range of instruments known as Depth-Sensing Indentation (DSI), with the penetration depth being continuously monitored as a function of load during the indentation test. This technique has been largely used to evaluate mechanical properties of materials at the nanoscale level, especially hardness and elastic modulus. Given the range of depths (nm) and forces (µN) involved, the accuracy of the measured penetration depth and force is therefore essential for this method, and the certainty of the corresponding depth and force measurements has a direct influence on the accuracy of results. CSM Instruments has introduced a new high resolution nanoindentation apparatus with an ultra low thermal drift.
