Measurement of an indentation size effect for Indium as a function of temperature

Abstract

We present compression and instrumented indentation experiments on high-purity Indium, at temperatures from 22 to-100°C. A strong indentation size effect is detected at all temperatures, corresponding to a large material length-scale. Therefore the large length-scale is not a consequence of creep mechanisms but an intrinsic property of the material.

Novel mechanical pre-treatment methods for effective indium recovery from end-of-life liquid-crystal display panels

“…TFT and CF substrates have a slightly different hardness (Won et al 2014), which might explain the mentioned mutual differences between the substrates. The hardness of indium increases as the temperature decreases (Iliev et al 2018).…”
