The research trend on the nanoindentation testing in the surfacing and joining/welding technologies has been reviewed. The increasing interest in the mechanical properties of modern surfacing and joining/ welding structures is placing stringent demands on the manufacturing techniques and performance requirements, and the manufacture employs the high quality and efficiency testing devices to produce best quality products. Nanoindentation testing which enables to evaluate hardness, yield/tensile strength, and residual stress plays an important role in measuring the mechanical properties for relatively small and local volumes, so that it is very useful in obtaining profiles or maps of mechanical properties in the narrow zone of coating and HAZ of weldment. This has led to an increasing attention to the field of surfacing and joining/welding structures. This paper covers recent technical trends of nanoindentation testing technologies of surfacing and joining/welding including the COMPENDEX DB analysis of published papers, research subject and research institutes.
