Hardness measurement: Assess the durability of your materials
What is a hardness test and why is it important?
A hardness test is a fundamental test technique used to assess the resistance of a material to deformation or permanent compression. In various sectors such as metallurgy, construction and automotive hardness measurement offers essential insights into the durability and wear resistance of materials. By performing hardness tests, you can guarantee the quality and performance of your products.
Why choose hardness testing?
Do you want to ensure the durability and durability of your materials? Our professional hardness testing services offer:
- Accurate evaluations: Get detailed insights into the hardness and durability of your materials.
- quality assurance: ensure that materials meet the required standards and specifications.
- Improved product development: Use test results to select and design materials with optimal performance.
How does a hardness test work?
The process includes various test methods to measure the hardness of materials:
- Brinell hardness measurement: measures the diameter of the depression made by a carbide ball on the material surface.
- Rockwell hardness measurement: determines the depth or height of the depression with a diamond cone or carbide ball.
- Vickers hardness test: uses a diamond pyramid for a very accurate measurement of the hardness score.
During the hardness tests, we focus on important properties such as:
- Impression resistance: the extent to which a material is resistant to permanent deformation.
- Wear resistance: the resistance of a material to wear due to contact or friction.
