The i3D testing software.
Full control and easy measuring points operation can be set individually or by grid. The test sequence is fully automated with continuous progress display.
The archiving of the results and creation of test reports are generated automatically. In addition, the flow curves can be exported with the respective location coordinates. Furthermore, the anisotropy of the material can be visualised in addition to the output of the mechanical parameters hardness, tensile strength and yield strength.

FAQ.
What are the results of a test with the indentation method?
The results are
- Stress-strain curve
- 0.2% offset yield strength
- Ultimate tensile strength
- Ductility (possible as uniform elongation or elongation at break for selected materials)
- Anisotropy (qualitative)
Is the stress-strain curve determined as technical or true?
Both technical and true curves are calculated and can be displayed in the user interface and exported for further use.
How are these values determined?
It is a software algorithm that calculates material parameters from the three-dimensional shape of a hardness impression using FEM simulations. The method is specified in accordance with DIN SPEC 4864. The link to the standard can be found here.
Is it a mechanical test method?
The indentation is carried out mechanically on a test specimen, followed by an optical evaluation with an interferometer and calculation with an algorithm.
Can characteristic values for the anisotropy of materials be determined?
Normally, these can only be determined qualitatively. However, they can also be calculated quantitatively for individual applications.
