Fossil Mechanical Properties using Nanoindentation
In this application, the Nanovea Mechanical Tester, in Nanoindentation mode is used to map fossil mechanical properties of different locations of an ammonite fossil sample. We would like to showcase the capacity of Nanovea Mechanical Tester in performing nanoindentation mapping on a fossil sample with high precision and reproducibility.
Rock Tribology Using Tribometer
In this study, we simulated and compared the tribological properties of two types of rocks to showcase the capacity of Nanovea Tribometer in measuring the coefficient of friction and wear rate of rock tribology in a controlled and monitored manner.
Here are examples of materials we tested this month:
Mechanical:
• Nanoindentation & scratch of thin sapphire coatings
• Nanoindentation of DLC coatings
• Nano scratch of thin teflon coatings
• Microindentation yield strength of micro aluminum parts
• Macro scratch of firearm parts
3D Non-Contact Profilometry:
• Roughness of transparent films
• Texture consistency of laser etch
• Step height of carbon nano tube coatings
• Coplanarity of ball grid arrays
• Medical staples curvature measurement
Tribology:
• Wear rate of wear resistant tooling
• Lubricated linear wear resistance of thin coatings
