The MML NanoTest system is a fully flexible nano-mechanical property measurement system, offering a complete range of nanomechanical and nanotribological tests, including nanoindentation, nano-scratch and wear, nano-impact and fatigue, elevated temperature nanoindentation and indentation in fluids.
Amongst other parameters, the NanoTest is capable of measuring hardness, modulus, toughness, adhesion and many other properties of thin films and other surfaces or solids.
Nanomechanical measurements in real world conditions
MML have pioneered testing methods which allow a sample to be tested in an environment which can be adjusted to closely replicate conditions that these materials actually see in everyday use.
Examples of such conditions are:
High temperature testing - Allows the testing of samples at temperatures up to 750°C. This is useful for a range of applications including cutting tools, aerospace, and other emerging technologies which require a coating or material to work under high temperature conditions.
The NanoTest retains industry leading stability, due to its dedicated environmental enclosure, whilst offering greatly enhanced force and displacement capability together with a simple user interface. The automatic scheduling software allows maximum throughput without the need for user intervention.
