Analysis of the size effect in the nanoscratching process of single crystalline and polycrystalline materials

Abstract In tribology, nanoscratch testing is used to evaluate the mechanical and tribological properties of materials by employing a nanoscale indenter. At this scale, size-dependent plasticity effects, particularly those related to scratch hardness, become significant. Additionally, the anisotropi...
