Abstract:
Methods for the measurement of the mechanical properties of hardmetals at ambient temperatures are discussed. Current standards are assessed together with good measurement practice, including both routine procedures and research requirements. A comprehensive "property review" is included together with a summary of key microstructural parameters and their measurement. Comments are given on the discriminability of different mechanical test methods.
