= Indentation plastometry
{wiki=Indentation_plastometry}
Indentation plastometry is a technique used to measure the mechanical properties of materials, specifically their flow behavior and plasticity. This method involves applying a controlled force to a sharp indenter that penetrates the material's surface, creating an impression. By analyzing the depth and characteristics of the indentation, researchers can infer important information about the material's yield strength, hardening behavior, and other mechanical properties.
