4.1 Characterization of plastic anisotropy by hardness testing
Due to the plastic anisotropy of the indented material, the residual indentation does not exhibit the symmetries of the indenter: the lengths of the diagonals of a Vickers indentation are different
To study the effect of this plastic anisotropy, we can use a Knoop indentor (cf. ) and perform indentations for various orientations of the indenter's...
