Acta Materialia 52 (2004) 5397–5404 Investigation of the relationship between elastic modulus and hardness based on depth-sensing indentation measurements Y.W. Bao *, W. Wang, Y.C. Zhou Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science, Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 72 Wenhua Road, Shenyang 110016, PR China Received 7 April 2004; accepted 3 August 2004 Abstract An analytical relationship between the reduced modulus Er and hardness H for solid materials is established based on the con- ventional depth-sensing indentation method of Oliver and Pharr. It is found that the two properties are related through a material parameter that is defined as the recovery resistance Rs. This parameter is shown to represent the energy dissipation during inden- pffiffiffiffiffiffiffi tation. Based on indentation measurements with the use of a Berkovich indenter, the relationship is given as Er ¼ 0:6647 HR . Also s presented is a simple set of procedures to determine the area of indent. The procedures require three measured quantities, i.e., the peak load and corresponding displacements as well as the depth of residual indentation, but do not require complicated curve fitting process and regression analysis which themselves involve the specimen material.
