| Abstract Scope |
Over the past 4 decades since it was first introduced in 1980s, nanoindentation technique has been widely used to estimate the various mechanical properties of the small volume in a material at much smaller loads and size scales than conventional (micro-)hardness tests. The technique is now considered not only as a characterizing tool but as a promising technology for better understanding of the mechanisms of small-scale mechanical/physical behavior from materials science viewpoints. In this talk, based on the research of my group and colleagues, I would like to explain how this becoming-somewhat-old technique can be yet very valuable tool for developing novel structural materials. Especially, for a crucial instance, the main focus of this talk is given on the nanoindentation study on high-/medium-entropy alloys, a relatively new member of structural materials family. |
