A study of fatigue mesoscopic elasto-plastic properties of a nickel-base superalloy by instrumented microindentation measurements

A study of a micro-indentation technique for estimating the fracture toughness of Al6061-T6

“…Recently the instrumented micro-indentation is used to study the local elastoplastic properties of nickel base super-alloys that has been widely used for fabrication of key load-carrying components in steam turbines that usually undergo a typical combination of alternating loading and elevated temperature exposure in practical service conditions (Takagi et al, 2004;Ye et al, 2012). The local mechanical properties are tested by using micro-indentation technique also in the welding process of aluminium alloys (Ambriz et al, 2011) as well as to indicate time dependent material degradation on Cr-Ni (Mo) heat-resistant steels for facilities in petrolchemical and power plants (Jang et al, 2005).…”
