Determination of the Plastic Hardness of a Material by Indentation Under Elastic-plastic Deformation of the Indenter
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This paper describes a technique for determining the hardness of metals by indentation under elastoplastic deformation of the indenter. This indentation method is suitable for determining the hardness of a material with an unknown hardness level. Despite the loss of indenter functionality, the proposed technique allows one to determine the hardness of the inspected material.
