Elastic modulus of glass was measured using static method, dynamic method and Vickers indentation technique, respectively. The residual indent of Vickers indentation is analyzed to estimate the elastic modulus, using conventional hardness tester without load-depth curve. The modulus and hardness of glass are determined by load, deformation and residual semi-angle of the indent. The result is compared with the modulus obtained by conventional dynamic and static methods. It was shown that the modulus measured by dynamic method provides the highest value and the modulus obtained by indentation technique is between the values of dynamic modulus and static modulus. The result also shows that the modulus measured by dynamic method has very stable value and that measured by bending method has the lowest value. The modulus obtained in indentation tests shows relatively greater scatter.

The fracture toughness of AISI H13 borided steel and the strength adhesion of the coated system were estimated in the present work. The formation of the layers was carried out by the powder pack boriding process at 1273 K with 8 h of treatment. The fracture toughness (KC) of the layer is estimated at 25 and 45 m from the surface using four different Vickers indentation loads. The KC values were estimated by the extension of Palmqvist cracks parallel and perpendicular to the surface obtained at the indentation corners. The adherence of the layer/substrate was evaluated in qualitative form through the Rockwell-C indentation technique. The results obtained by both techniques, show, in first instance, that the fracture toughness of the boride layer can be expressed in the form (KC) (π/2) > (KC) > (KC) (0). Also, high delamination is obtained around the Rockwell-C indentation prints that denote poor adhesion in the coating-substrate interface.

The room temperature fracture toughness and the high temperature DBTT of MoB particle-reinforced MoSi2 composites were investigated using Vickers indentation technique and MSP testing method, respectively. Modified Small Punch (MSP) test is a method for evaluation of mechanical properties using very small specimens, and it’s appropriate for the determination of strength and DBTT. It was found that the approximate fracture toughness of the composite is 1.3 times that of monolithic MoSi2, and its DBTT is 100°C higher than that of monolithic MoSi2 materials. Cracks deflection is a probable mechanism responsible for this behavior.
