In Session 4 of the KLA Instruments Indentation University, we measure a sample of plain low-carbon 1018 steel using the KLA Instruments™ iMicro nanoindentation system.
About this webinar
Session 4 provides a brief discussion of 1018 steel along with sample preparation and setup with the iMicro nanoindentation system. Sample loading is shown, and the test plan is discussed, with special attention paid to explanation of and setting nanoindentation testing parameters, including the measurement grid for nanomechanical hardness testing and other property mapping.
Note: for Session 4, it is recommended to view the following Indentation University webinar as background for the discussion:
