Rapid Mapping with Robust Mechanical Property Distribution Statistics
Nanomechanical testing was specifically developed to measure highly localized mechanical properties. Arrays of individual measurements can be spatially arranged and plotted to generate maps of mechanical property gradients across a surface. Conservatively, a traditional nanoindentation measurement takes ~90 seconds and a 20x20 array would take 10 hours to complete. Utilizing Bruker’s new Hysitron XPM ultra-fast property mapping, this same data set can be compiled in only 1.1 minutes!
