Applications of NanoScan micro-hardness and nano-testing
The unique features of the NanoScan instruments allow their application both in the applications traditional for nanohardness meters and SPM, and in the areas inaccessible for such devices. Scanning nanohardness meters "NanoScan" are used to investigate mechanical and electrical properties as well as to measure linear dimensions and control the quality of surfaces in the following areas:
Materials Science: Research and Engineering Applications
- Nanophase and composite materials
- Ultra-dispersed hard alloys
- New hard and superhard materials
- Structural nanomaterials: alloys, composites, ceramics
- Thin Films and Coatings
- Carbon nanomaterials and fibers
