Ultra High temperature nanoindentation

The HTV version of UNHT³ is the only ultra nanoindenter with a fully automatic procedure for minimizing thermal drift which is able to achieve <3 nm/min over the entire temperature range.

This is done via the unique and patented heating

management which simultaneously controls the sample and indenter temperature with a precision of 0.1 °C. The indentation software takes control of the heating and environmental conditions interacting in real-time with the system to minimize thermal drift and launchall the desired measurements.

Configuration

  • Measurements under high vacuum and high temperatures up to 800 °C
  • Maximum load: 20 mN / 100 mN
  • Load resolution: 3nN
  • Loading rate [mN/min]: up to 1000
  • Additional dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) with “Sinus Mode”
