Instrumented spherical nanoindentation with a continuous stiffness measurement has gained increased popularity in microphysical investigations of grain boundaries, twins, dislocation densities, ion-induced damage, and more. These studies rely on different methodologies for instrument and tip calibration. Here, we test, integrate, and re-adapt published strategies for tip and machine-stiffness calibration for spherical tips. We propose a routine for independently calibrating the effective tip radius and the machine stiffness using standard reference materials, which requires the parametrization of the effective radius as a function of load. We validate our proposed workflow against key benchmarks and apply the resulting calibrations to data collected in materials with varying ductili... |
