Abstract Continuous indentation test is getting more used to derive indentation flow curve. The overall deriving algorithm is relatively well-established, the details of the algorithm are, however, still argued. One of the arguments is the definition of true strain which constitutes the indentation flow curve. In this study, work-hardening exponent was adopted for determining what definition is appropriate to obtain accurate indentation flow curve since work-hardening exponent is affected by only the definition of true strain not by other constants. The effect of calibrating contact depth was eliminated using finite element analysis. Finally, the definition based on tangent function was determined to be proper for deriving the indentation flow curve. (Received September 8, 2004)
