Nanoindentation is one of the most important nondestructive methods for mechanical characterization of surfaces. During nanoindentation experiment only normal loads are applied. However, in practical cases both normal and lateral forces act together. Unfortunately, the results of scratch tests depend strongly on the conditions and a comparison is difficult. And nanoindentation alone cannot provide a comprehensive set of material parameters needed for simulation and optimization of protecting coatings. In order to overcome these problems a new Lateral Force Unit (LFU) was developed (ASMEC GmbH, Germany) and installed in a nanoindenter UMIS 2000 (CSIRO, Australia). The lateral force cycle is applied during the hold period of the normal maximum load. The first results of LFU test are the following: (1.) The LFU investigations allow the determination of the friction coefficient of the sample against diamond with high local resolution. (2.) The comparison of LFU and nanoindentation measurements allows the estimation of critical forces (lateral and normal) which lead to the onset of plastic deformation.
