What Is Nanoindentation Used For?

Nanoindentation testing , as the name might imply, is a method which is intended to measure the mechanical properties of small volumes and quantities of materials – using an indentation technique which essentially presses a nanoindenter into the material. From the mark, a lot of details about the material can be ascertained. Properties in materials which are measured include the elastic modulus (how much of the material warped around the indentation), the hardness (How much pressure was required to make a mark onto the material), how the material stands up to being fractured (are there any cracks? Chips?), the creep (A creep essentially denotes on a microscopic level, if the material has warped from the process) More intricate properties are observed on a molecular level such as material storage and the loss moduli. Nanoindentation is far more than marking or scratching an object and taking measurements, individual phases of each material are tested in order to ascertain which compon...

How is Diamond Drilling Used?

Diamond Core Drilling in London and in other areas of the UK is a very precise technique which is used when conventional drilling just doesn’t cut it. It is highly favoured for the fact that it is more accurate than conventional drilling techniques and also gives a large advantage with the fact that diamond drilling, due to increased precision, allows for far less chance of damage. Diamond drilling also tends to be a faster process than conventional cutting due to the fact that diamond is a harder material than anything else in the world. It works by utilising a rotary core drilling which has a specially made diamond drill bit attached. This process is used in order to create holes with a far greater degree of precision than other means. This is because of the fact that Diamond Core Drilling is a form of drilling with utilises a rotary drill, which has a diamond drill bit attached in order to create precision holes. Diamond Core Drilling is generally considered lot more accurat...

Accountants in North Wales for the Long Term

If you are in business then you will more than likely need an accountant in North Wales at some point... unless you plan on doing all the bookkeeping yourself. (Who would!) Should you decide to do your own accounting, you can open yourself up to all manner of headaches, worries, stresses and strains even without anything in particular actually being wrong. Should something actually be wrong, the whole experience of owing HMRC money is more than likely going to end up costing you a lot of time and resulting in a massive headache for both you and your employees. A Chartered Accountant in North Wales is your very best port of call to work your books, tax filings, and liabilities so that you can free up your time to focus on your business. (Because that's what it's all about isn't it? No-one gets into business to do spreadsheets day in and day out.) Picking the right accountant can be a minefield, as any old Tom, Dick or Harry can call themselves an accountant. ...
