Description

Dominika Przygucka and colleagues infer bulk properties of a new high-entropy alloy from tiny hardness indents. Their study from twenty twenty-five uses a five-metal alloy. Laboratory samples are often too small for standard testing. Microhardness could stand in if the maths is right.

Several mathematical models converted indent results to true hardness. One model, accounting for elastic load share, matched bulk tests best. A further pattern linked stiffness to a hardness-curve coefficient. That link lets stiffness be estimated from indents too. Crack-length measurements cross-checked the method. Small specimens can thus yield trustworthy engineering numbers. Alloy screening speeds up when big samples aren't required.
