Abstract
In this research, the hardness and reduced modulus of Al-%wt.12-%wt.0.5Sb melt-spun alloy were evaluated by using depth sensing indentation and atomic force microscopy techniques. We considered two approaches, Oliver-Pharr and Work of Indentation, to analyse the load-displacement curves. The ratio of final depth to maximum depth was found to be higher than the reported critical value of 0.70, which mean that pile-up was dominant in the melt-spun. A pile-up around the deformed surface was observed from atomic force microscope, which is consistent with the aferomentioned result. The hardness calculated by Oliver-Pharr method was higher than that calculated by Work of Indentation Approach. According to the results, Work of Indentation Approach was more reliable than the Oliver-Pharr approach because of reducing pile-up affect.
