The latest advances in in-situ SEM nanoindentation testing

In this webinar, presenters will cover recent advances in in-situ nanomechanics testing, highlighting a case study on fracture toughness in nitride hard coatings. They will also introduce the PI 89 Auto PicoIndenter—which automates nanoindentation mapping for correlating microstructure with mechanical properties—and explore processing-structure-mechanical property relationships using this high-throughput in-situ system.

Join us for this webinar to see:

• Research on the influence of columnar grain boundaries on the fracture toughness of nitride hard coatings, determined using in-situ SEM microcantilever fracture tests
• An introduction to the PI 89 Auto PicoIndenter for streamlined correlation of microstructure and mechanical properties
• Evaluation of processing-structure-property relationships in structural materials as determined using PI 89 Auto to correlate EBSD, EDS, and nanoindentation maps
