Instrumented indentation testing is a method used to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials by applying a small indenter to the specimen surface, while recording the indentation depth and load in real-time. This technique allows for fast and precise analysis of the material’s local properties through accurate load control and fine deformation measurement.

Applicable to a wide range of materials at the nano, micro, and macro scales, it plays a critical role in material development, quality control, and safety verification in industry and academic research, particularly in the study of metals, polymers, and ceramics.
