Presentation Highlights

Expert Answers to Live Audience Questions:

Q: Is it possible to use the CMX method together with the heating stage and increase the temperature as the indenter is loading the sample?

   

Q: Is the measured hardness value dependent on the amount of applied load?
Q: Is it possible to run a frequency at 1 Hz to be able to compare back to macro DMA ASTM standards?
Q: [Regarding the load function editor] Can you comment on how you would set that up if you want to choose a non-linear loading segment?
