Abstract

The macroscopic mechanical properties of steel are highly dependent upon microstructure, morphology, and distribution of each phase present. Nanomechanical testing (Depth sensing indentation) provides a straightforward solution for quantitatively characterizing each of these phases because it is very powerful technique for characterization of materials in small volumes. Measuring the intrinsic properties of each phase separately in multiphase materials gives information that is valuable for the development of new materials and for modelling [1]. In this work, depth sensing indentation has been used to reveal mechanical properties of different phases in steel sheets.
