Fracture Toughness Measurement Using Nanoindentation

In this study, the Nanovea Mechanical Tester, in Nanoindentation mode, is used to evaluate the fracture toughness of a fused silica sample. The fused silica sample was chosen for its commonly recognized fracture toughness values to display the control and accuracy using nanoindentation.

Wear Resistance of Magnetic Stripes Using Tribometer

In this application, the Nanovea Tribometer is used to simulate the wear process of the magnetic stripes on cards and measure the wear resistance and coefficient of friction in a controlled and repeatable manner.

Dental Screw Dimensions Using 3D Profilometry

In this application the Nanovea ST400 Profilometer is used to measure a flat surface along with screw thread features in a single measurement on a dental screw. The surface roughness will be calculated from the flat area, and various dimensions of the thread features will be determined.

Rotative and Linear Wear Comparative Study

The wear rate of an acrylic plate is measured in a controlled and monitored manner using linear and rotative wear test setups on the Nanovea Tribometer for comparison.  In this study we would like to showcase the versatility of the Nanovea Tribometer in measuring wear rate using multiple setups.

Tooth Wear Measurement Using 3D Profilometry

In this application the Nanovea ST400 Profilometer is used to measure the surface of a tooth sample mounted in epoxy that has been put through a chewing simulator. The area measured was the resulting wear and the surrounding surface area. The
maximum width, depth, perimeter, surface area, and volume lost will be used to characterize the wear track.

FastMap High Speed Nanoindentation Mapping

With speed as fast as 3 seconds per indent using a fast piezo controller, Nanoindentation mapping can now be achieved with reproducibility and accuracy only seen at lower speeds until now.

Surface Measurement. What Interferometry Is Not Telling You.

What’s important ACCURACY or RESOLUTION? Nanovea gathers critical information on the matter and further evaluates Interferometry versus Axial Chromatism. Although resolution provides a nice image on the screen, is it accurate? Learn more
