A general nano-mechanical test platform capable of performing variable temperature and
variable strain rate testing in situ in the scanning electron microscope is described. A variety …

The effect of solid solution alloying elements on the plastic deformation of fine grained Mg
alloys was studied in five binary systems: Mg–0.3 at.% X (X= Al, Ca, Li, Y or Zn). All the …

Nanoindentation simulations are a helpful complement to experiments. There is a dearth of
nanoindentation simulations for bcc metals, partly due to the lack of computationally efficient …

Abstract The Taylor-Quinney coefficient (TQC) or the cold-work conversion factor is the
fraction of external work that is converted into heat during the plastic deformation of a …

An instrument capable of performing nanoindentation at temperatures up to 500 C in inert
atmospheres, including partial vacuum and gas near atmospheric pressures, is described …

Nanoindentation has been used for a long time to investigate the mechanical properties of
materials. A well-known displacement burst, the so-called “pop-in,” is usually observed …

Micro-pillar compression has been utilised in a novel elevated temperature technique, in situ
in the SEM to characterise the plasticity of gallium nitride (GaN){0001}-oriented euhedral …

Stable, elevated temperature indentation requires the indenter tip and the sample to be in
thermal equilibrium to prevent thermal displacement drift due to thermal expansion …
