Nano- and microindentation in metallurgical applications: practical examples
Metallurgy is a broad industry comprising production, thermomechanical and surface treatment and post-processing of metals and alloys. Many different techniques are used with the goal of gaining superior material properties such as additional strength, a good response to external loading, good surface properties such as hardness and wear resistance and many others. In this webinar we will give you an overview of the metallurgical industry and we will show you some principles for characterization of surface mechanical properties. We will present how indentation, tribology and scratch techniques can be used to study the surface strength of welds and multiphase materials, the characterization of metallic powders, and the adhesive and cohesive properties of thermal spray coatings.
The main topics will be:
- Overview of the metallurgical industry
- Surface strength measurements
- Weld characterization using indentation techniques
- Examples of measurements on thermal spray coatings
- Compressive measurements on powder particles for additive manufacturing
