The NanoTest Vantage combines multiple nanomechanical and nanotribological test techniques over multiple force scales and temperatures.
Detailed Description
The NanoTest Vantage has a high degree of functionality and can be used to study a wide range of materials for both research and industrial applications.
The test techniques available include indentation, scratch, wear, friction and impact.
Two load modules are available, a low load module with a load range of 10µN to 500mN and a high load module with a range 300mN to 30N.
The NanoTest Vantage is ideally suited for testing materials at elevated temperatures up to 500°C due to its unique design.
The stage configuration allows large samples to be accommodated with a maximum testable sample area of 100mm x 50mm and a maximum sample thickness of 150mm.
The post-experiment analysis software has a wide range of capabilities including creating hardness and modulus maps in both 2D and 3D and producing stress – strain curves from experimental data.
Uses/Applications
