2nd Workshop on Instrumented Indentation Test for Industry – WIIT-Industry 2024

Instrumented indentation test (IIT), since its inception in 1992, has progressed rapidly as a valuable research tool in academy and Industry.

This workshop is intended to expand the use of IIT in industry while promoting its scientific and technological development. This technique is unique in that it is non- or semi-destructive, it requires quick preparation of the sample and can be portable or can be miniaturized to embed into FESEM devices.  A large variety of materials in the rolled, forged, extruded, casted products can be potentially tested either in-line or off-line production. IIT on thin films, coatings and multilayers is already established. The determination of the performances of welded joints and additively manufactured components are under investigation at nano-, micro- and macroscale. IIT’s transfer into industrial environment will allow unprecedent rapid setup of the manufacturing process as well as in-line tailoring and optimization of material properties to meet specific industrial applications.

This second WIIT-Industry is organized by the research group of Materials Processing & Design group of Politecnico di Torino with the collaboration of Alemnis (Thun, Switzerland), Anton Paar Italy, and the Italian Institute of Metallurgy (AIM). It includes one-day oral presentations on various aspects of IIT of interest to materials science and industry. Renowned scientists and experts in the field have been invited as speakers.

The participation to the event is free of charge and open to beginners and trained scientists from university, research labs and industry.
