Nanoindentation is used to measure hardness of Ti 3 SnC 2 , a recently synthesized nanolaminate carbide. Hardness cartography and optical microscopy are used to correlate hardness values and sample phases. An indentation size effect is observed, and a bulk hardness of 9.3 GPa is deduced for Ti 3 SnC 2 . Such a value i…
