    The temperature response of properties of single crystal tungsten (110) is still not well understood. Tungsten was chosen to illustrate the temperature dependence behaviour because of its isotropic ... elastic behaviour at low loads. All the mechanical properties are temperature dependent. The experiments were performed with tailor made Berkovich tip of radius 100 nm at 265 K, 373 K and 623 K to study the behavior of tungsten single crystal at various temperatures. The phenomenon of material under the indenter, bouncing back at the end of unloading due to the accumulation of energy was observed. It was noted that the elastic recovery was lower at higher temperature. The experiments showed the onset of the first strain burst, the onset of plastic deformation in connection with periodic bursts, and the softening effects. Pile up, significant drop in hardness, change of elastic modulus and increase in displacement with increasing temperature were observed. Because of softening, the indentation depth is increased for the same loading conditions. Clear bursts were seen showing the nucleation of dislocations. At higher peak loads, the indentation contact in tungsten was not just elastic. This work attemped to explore the complete behaviour of metals, at various temperatures, including the initial burst, the complete elastic recovery, the softening effect, the modulus and hardness.
