Abstract

The indentation test is a simple commonly used technique to measure the hardness and related mechanical properties of materials in an easy and speedy way. The method consists of touching the material of interest with another material whose properties are known. In a typical test, a hard indenter of known geometry is driven into a soft material by applying a preset load and the dimensions of the resulting imprint are measured and related to the hardness index number.
