- Additional information
- This work was part of a three year EU-funded (EUR1.8M) project Strength-ABLE (http://empir.npl.co.uk/strength-able/). It’s significant as it develops models for the Indentation Size Effect in small samples of realistic alloys, quantifying the contribution of different microstructural features to material strength, providing understanding for the design of future materials. Project partner UKAEA (Dr Chris Hardie, United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority) have used the models in the analysis of data from a large set of nanoindentation tests (https://ukaea.foleon.com/ukaea/mrf-newsletter-february-2019/strength-able-project/). This testing is of relevance to their work (the development of fusion reactors) as only small samples of radioactive material can be safely examined.
