Instrumented indentation test

Working in collaboration with the German Federal Institute for Materials Research (BAM), the Zwick Group is at the cutting edge of this innovative method and plays an active role in standards committees at national and international level.

ZHU zwicki-Line hardness testing machine

ZHU zwicki-Line for universal hardness testing

Mount a hardness measurement head in a zwicki-Line testing machine and the result is the ZHU/Z2.5 - for flexible hardness testing. The head is designed for use with all Zwick materials testing machines and is also suitable for automated applications.

UNAT nanomechanical hardness tester

The Universal Nanomechanical Tester UNAT‘s force and displacement resolution enable comprehensive mechanical characterization of thin films and coatings or small surface areas, including measurement of indentation hardness, indentation modulus and Martens hardness to ISO 14577 (instrumented indentation hardness).
