The variation of apparent hardness observed in previously reported Vickers indentation tests of metals is reexamined. Common deseriptions of the effect are shown to be inaccurate: the variation of apparent hardness is monotonic but not simple. The effect is consistent with varying size of a previously postulated “plastic hinge” at the perimeter of the indent. This complexity confers uncertainty on the estimation of characteristic macrohardness from small scale tests. Association of the indentation size effect with friction and with strain hardening is confirmed.

The hardness of single-crystal GaN and AlN of 0.5-mm-thickness was measured by the Vickers indentation method in the temperature range 20 - 1400°C. The hardness of GaN and AlN is 10.2 and 17.7 GPa, respectively, at room temperature. The nano-indentation hardness of single-crystal AlN was measured at room temperature as 18 GPa, harder than GaN and InN. Up to about 1100°C, GaN and AlN maintain its hardness similar to that of SiC and thus, a high mechanical stability for GaN and AlN at elevated temperatures is deduced. Yield strength of nitrides is discussed.
