Indentation Size Effects in Ductile and Brittle Materials

Abstract:

Indentation hardness of homogeneous materials should be constant. However, at very small depths, the apparent hardness often increases with decreasing imprint size. The paper discusses various cases of this indentation size effect in metals and ceramics and explains the extrinsic and intrinsic reasons.
