Indenter Tip for Nanomechanics Systems

Indenter Tip for Nanomechanics Systems

Application Notes

It is important to select the correct tip for your application. Keysight Technologies, Inc. offers high precision indenter tips that enable the inest quality data for your research. Our indenter tips are designed to meet all of your demanding applications. This document can be used as a guide in the selection process to determine the best tip for your needs.

 

There are five main types of indenter tips, each with a different geometry for a variety of applications:

  • Berkovich
  • Vickers
  • Cube-Corner
  • Cone
  • Sphere

 

Berkovich

 

The Berkovich indenter tip is the most frequently used indenter tip for instrumented indentation testing (IIT) to measure mechanical properties on the nanoscale. The Berkovich indenter tip is a three-sided pyramid that can be ground to a point and thus maintains a self-similar geometry to very small scales. This geometry is often preferred to the Vickers indenter tip which is a four-sided pyramid.
