To investigate materials’ mechanical properties, nanoindentation and micro-compression tests are often used. These properties of materials are interrogated using either load or displacement control, ...

It might not seem like scraping the top of a cold stick of butter with a knife could be a scientific test, but engineers say the process is very similar to the "scratch test," which is perhaps the ...

Scientists have now built a machine that sets a new standard of accuracy for testing a material's hardness, which is a measure of its resistance to bumps and scratches. In today's precision ...

Firstly, it can help materials meet specific regulatory standards and requirements. For instance, materials used in biomedical devices must be biocompatible and safe in the body. Determine mechanical ...

When designing metal parts, it's important to specify their hardness. However, many engineers have only a shaky understanding of what hardness actually is, or how it's measured. There are good reasons ...

All of our testing is conducted in our lab in Reno, Nevada by experimental researchers who have the experience to develop a customized approach to the specific materials and questions you have. We ...
