Testing Principles
Indentation Testing: Uses high-precision capacitive sensors to monitor the load-depth relationship of steel or diamond tips, providing hardness, elastic modulus, and creep data.
Scratch Testing: Applies controlled load to create scratches, recording friction force, scratch depth, and material damage features, allowing you to determine film-substrate adhesion, scratch hardness, and wear rate.
Multi-Scale Testing: The modular design allows comprehensive mechanical characterization at nano, micro, and high-load scales on the same sample.
Friction & Wear: Measures friction force changes during scratching to evaluate wear resistance and friction coefficient.
Operation Instructions
Confirm sample size and surface condition, then mount it on the precision positioning stage.
Select the test module (nano/micro indentation or scratch) and install the corresponding probe.
Set load, displacement, scratch speed, and number of cycles.
Enable thermal drift compensation to ensure stability during nanoscale tests.
Start the test and observe indentation or scratch morphology using optical microscopy or AFM.
After completion, turn off the instrument, remove the sample and probe, and record experimental data.
Avoid environmental vibrations and high humidity to maintain nanoscale measurement accuracy.
