Novel nanoindentation strain rate sweep method for continuously investigating the strain rate sensitivity of materials at the nanoscale

Hendrik Holz, Benoit Merle

We introduce a new nanoindentation method to continuously measure the hardness while sweeping through orders of magnitudes of strain rates within a single experiment. While nanoind…

A new method for microscale cyclic crack growth characterization from notched microcantilevers and application to single crystalline tungsten and a metallic glass

S. Gabel, B. Merle, E. Bitzek +1

The lifetime of most metals is limited by cyclic loads, ending in fatigue failure. The progressive growth of cracks ends up in catastrophic failure. An advanced method is presented…

Structural reorientation and compaction of porous MoS2 coatings during wear testing

Sebastian Krauß, Armin Seynstahl, Stephan Tremmel +7

Industrial upscaling frequently results in a different coating microstructure than the laboratory prototypes presented in the literature. Here, we investigate the wear behavior of…

Effect of Cold Sintering Process (CSP) on the Electro-Chemo-Mechanical Properties of Gd-doped Ceria (GDC)

Ahsanul Kabir, Daoyao Ke, Salvatore Grasso +2

In this report, the effect of the cold sintering process (CSP) on the electro-chemo-mechanical properties of 10 mol% Gd-doped ceria (GDC) is investigated. High purity nanoscale GDC…
