Summary:Microscale machining processes modifying component surfaces are applied in various fields: from drive technology through plant engineering to medical technology. The impact of the fine structures formed in the material on its behavior and mechanical properties need to be investigated in more detail. Besides the examination of the cyclic and quasi-static behavior of micromachined samples, analysing the near-surface microstructure and the hardness is of great importance. The nanoindentation allows for the determination of local mechanical properties in small analysis volumes. Its applicability to determine the hardness in micromachined near-surface areas including the metallographic preparation for commercially pure titanium is presented in this work.
