In Session 10 of the KLA Instruments Indentation University series, the process of verifying nanoindenter performance is discussed and demonstrated. Regular performance verification is essential for maintaining high data quality and meaningful results.
About this Webinar
Session 10 explains the nanoindenter verification procedure that is used to quickly and thoroughly check instrument functionality prior to nanoindentation testing, including operational checks of the calibrations, positioning system, indenter tip shape and area function, and frame stiffness. The example verification is done on the Nano Indenter® G200X with the InForce 50 actuator. Note that this process holds for any KLA Instruments™ nanoindenter actuator for any KLA Instruments nanoindentation system.
Note: for Session 10, it is recommended to view the following Indentation University webinars as background for the discussion:
