Abstract

In this study, mechanical properties of the constituents of three-phase composite based on chromium carbides were measured by means of nanoindentation. Different loading scenarios were applied to different phases testing. The semi-ellipse method for accounting of pile-ups was applied to determine the hardness and modulus of elasticity of the constituents. After the contact area re-consideration, the properties of phases show good agreement with those obtained for the bulk form of the materials. Difference in values that are commonly referred and obtained during the test may point to the formation of new phases during sintering.
