Abstract
When a diamond indentor with a spherical tip is pressed against a diamond flat, the high pressures generated can be calculated using Hertz’s equation. By use of Newton’s ring technique it is shown that the pressure with a thin film present between the diamonds is essentially the same pressure as calculated for diamond‐to‐diamond contact using Hertz’s equation.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
