NANO-AIS

Advanced Indentation System

Unlike existing nano equipment, Material Properties Tester NANO-AIS is a testing equipment that evaluates residual stress and tensile properties at nano scale. Using instrumented indentation technique, we obtained indentation load –displacement curve and it was applied to self-developed technology to evaluate residual stress between the layers, and tensile properties of grain and grain boundary. NANO-AIS uses Piezo Actuation System for precise control of the load and approval and it also features to block external environmental elements such as outside temperature and vibration.

Furthermore, it comes with high magnification optical microscope for the test location, and it is replaceable with special microscope like atomic force microscopy as user demands. For user’s convenience, it comes with software that features various automated testing system, analysis and reports preparation.
