Nano-mechanical behavior of MnTiO 3 ceramics

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Here we investigate the mechanical behavior of the MnTiO 3 ceramic. Nanoindentation tests on a manganese titanate polycrystalline sample were performed using a Berkovich indenter with a tip radius of 150 nm. On applying the load, it shows the elastic and plastic behavior. The work done during the elastic and plastic processes are 16,757 ± 120 μN.nm and 10,045 ± 120 μN.nm, respectively. The estimated values of reduced modulus and hardness are 158 ± 8 GPa and 10.5 ± 2 GPa, respectively. This suggests that this compound exhibits a significant plastic character.
