Hardness value from Nanoindentation Curve

Submitted by atiwari on

Hi,

Is there anyone aware of the reason why there is a surge in hardness value during the initial stages of penetration in nanoindentation curve. In a plot of hardness vs displacement into surface, I record a high value during the initial stages of the run. I am little confused about the reason.

Thanks,

atul
