Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of precision scientific instruments integrating opto-mechanical electronics, in particular to a precision nano-indentation testing device. Background technique [0002] The nano-indentation / scratch testing technology mainly obtains the load-indentation depth relationship curve by continuously recording the load and indentation depth, and finally obtains parameters such as hardness and elastic modulus of the tested material by analyzing the curve. The search for the position of the indentation and the measurement of the residual area of ​​the indentation are avoided during the test, which can greatly reduce the error of the test. The indentation load and indentation depth data are obtained through the indentation test, and then the corresponding load-depth relationship curve is drawn. Through the appropriate mechanical model and derivation, rich mechanical parameter information can be obtained from the curve analys...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] There are many studies using indentation technology to determine the mechanical properties of materials. The indentation devices designed by foreign researchers, such as the indentation device designed by Bangert and Wagendristel, can be placed in the vacuum chamber of the scanning electron microscope, but they have not In-situ monitoring of the actual indentation process, in fact, they designed the instrument to overcome various constraints, such as positioning accuracy and detection of indentation marks under small loads (50μN–20mN)

Its main defect is the lack of load and displacement sensors, so the relationship between the mechanical and mechanical properties of the material and the evolution of the microstructure cannot be obtained; M.A.Wall of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) of the United States et al. first developed an in-situ nano-indentation device that is precisely driven by a gear motor and a piezoelectric element. Its main defect is that the mechanical parameters of the material cannot be tested due to the inability to detect the loading force, and the effect of the load on the deformation and damage of the material cannot be studied. The law of influence; the device of A.M.Minor etc. obtains the loading force by converting the relationship between the voltage applied to the piezoelectric element and its deformation, resulting in complex testing, too many offline operation links, and there are model errors and parameter errors in the conversion of loading force, which affect The credibility of the test results in terms of magnitude
