Hardness testing makes it possible to determine material characteristics such as strength, ductility, and wear resistance. It also shows whether the heat treatment process has been carried out properly. These properties can be critical for the intended application of a material.
Hardness tests are typically performed by pressing a specifically dimensioned object (indenter) into the surface of the material. The hardness is determined by measuring the depth of indenter penetration or by measuring the size of the impression left by the indenter.
All hardness measurements on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Costumers of the product include the power industry, petrochemical industry, apparatus-, automotive- and mechanical engineering, quality control, steelworks, and many more.
