Abstract

The nature of the indentation process in a low alloy steel heat treated to four different hardness levels with a tungsten carbide ball as the indenter has been investigated. In particular, the effects of load and steel hardness on the constraint factor, the size of the plastic zone, the hardness and strain profile within the plastic zone, the pile-up height around the indenter and the extent of the elastic relaxation of the indentation surface have been studied. These results have been rationalized either in terms of the existing static indentation models or in terms of empirical equations suggested by others.
