THE MICRO-HARDNESS ANISOTROPY OF FLUOR-OLIGOMERIC AND Fe-Co-W COATINGS
Abstract
The influences of indenter micro-geometry on the micro-hardness performance in the film/substrate system are discussed. Experimental results verify the force required to produce hardness indents for thin films, the measurement of the size of plastic zone cross-sections of the indents, and the characterisation of the indenters. It was found that the deformation is highly localised beneath the indenter and failures in the corners of pyramidal indenters occurred.
