Nanoindentation & Scratch Testing

Lab Services & Consulting

NANOVEA provides nanoindentation and scratch testing lab services to measure mechanical properties and surface performance at the nano- and microscale.

These services are used to evaluate hardness, elastic modulus, coating adhesion, scratch resistance, and wear behavior for applications requiring independent, high-precision mechanical measurements. Commonly used during R&D validation, failure analysis, and quality control when precise mechanical data is required.

Testing is performed using instrumented nanoindentation and scratch systems designed and manufactured by NANOVEA, ensuring repeatable, traceable results aligned with international testing standards.

Testing aligned with ASTM and ISO nanoindentation and scratch testing standards.
