The Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials operating under Department of Science and Technology has developed Nano Blitz 3D.
Highlights
- The Nano Blitz 3D is a tool that is used for mapping nano mechanical properties.
- The tool shall be used to map nano materials such as multi-phase alloys, multi-layered coatings and composites.
About the mapping
- The mapping tool offers more than 10,000 data points. The data is processed using Machine Learning algorithms.
- The mapping is done through nano-indentation tests.
- These tests are conducted at a speed where testing an indent takes less than a second.
- Based on the indentations of the material, the tool measures the hardness and elastic modulus of the material.
Benefits
- The tool can be used to establish structure property linkages.
- This can help to develop hierarchical materials. This in turn helps in the development of Integrated Computational Material Engineering (ICME).
ICME
- It is an approach to understand how material structures are produced, how these structures give rise to material properties and finally how to select an ideal material for an application.
