Technical Functions of i3D® WLI Eco
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Indentation testing | Testing of metallic materials to determine RIp0,2 (yield strength) and RIm (tensile strength) per DIN SPEC 4864 — no tensile specimen required |
| Measurement time (standard) | Approx. 72 seconds per measurement point |
| Measurement time (high-speed) | Optional: super-speed system for cycle times from approx. 20 seconds per point |
| Overview camera (5 mm × 5 mm FoV) | Visual identification and precise placement of measurement points |
| 3D surface measurement (optional) | White-light interferometry for height maps and topography analysis |
| Manual XY cross table (optional) | Manual sample positioning with micrometer screws for convenient targeting |

Inverse FEM – Fast Determination of Mechanical Properties from Indentations
The DIN SPEC 4864 indentation method enables low-damage, precise, and automated determination of yield strength (RIp0,2), tensile strength (RIm), and flow curves — without tensile specimens. A small indent, including the characteristic pile-up, is captured optically in 3D; an inverse finite-element model then evaluates the geometry and delivers strength parameters in minutes. This eliminates elaborate specimen preparation, providing fast, local, and actionable material data — ideal for small components, structured materials, or serial analyses.
