- Abstract
- When a nanoindentation is carried out on a coating-substrate system, the resulting deformation can be influenced by not only the coating but also the substrate. In order to measure the coating-only contact properties, many works have been done to extract the critical indentation depth. In this study, we proposed a morphological parameter to determine the critical indentation depth by materializing interfacial constraints. From nanoindents were formed on 1.2-mu m-thick Cu and Au coatings, several morphological parameters were analyzed such as remnant indentation volume, impression apex angle and apex bluntness. The critical relative depths of the Cu and Au coatings were, respectively, as 0.25 and 0.16 consistent with the results from the hardness and volumetric approach. In addition, the apex angle approach can explain the discrepancy between both hardness and volumetric approach because the new approach traces the ratio of superficial edge recovery and depth-directional shrinkage inside of an impression.
