Description

The applicability of nanoindentation methods for industrial characterisation of thin film properties is discussed. The goal is to define reasonable boundary conditions for serious hardness testing in a justifiable amount of time. Nanomechanical test methods for industrial applications are confined by some simple rules. Different fields of application, like process development or quality control, for coating industry, are discussed by means of examples. (orig.)
