FIELD: nanotechnology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of study of physical properties of metals and alloys, namely to analysis of plastic properties of thin films of amorphous-nanocrystalline multicomponent metal alloys (ANCMA) after their transition from one state to another as a result of heat treatment. Essence: heat treatment of samples is performed in a predetermined temperature range and their subsequent cooling, their fastening on the metal substrate coated by the polymer composite material on the side of the sample, microindentation of the samples as a quadrangular pyramid with load, speed and time of exposure to the sample till appearance of cracks in the form of shapes close to inserted squares, and the calculation of the coefficient of plasticity of the test film sample. Additionally the average distance and the minimum average distance between adjacent cracks of the respective sides of the squares are determined, and the coefficient of plasticity is found from this formula.
EFFECT: improving the accuracy of calculations of the coefficient of plasticity.
