Abstract
Abstract This work presents a review on recent methodologies for the analysis of data obtained through instrumented indentation testing. Experimental tests, using a Vickers indenter, were carried out on low-carbon and bearing steels and indents were later analyzed in a laser interferometer. The results were used to verify the accuracy of methods proposed to predict the indentation morphology, pile-up or sink-in, and the accuracy of routines proposed to extract the mechanical properties of the indented materials. The occurrence of pile-up in all tested materials indicated that models may fail in predicting this behavior and, consequently, in determining the yield stress and strain-hardening exponent.
