Hardness Measurement

Hardness measurement is the method used to measure and evaluate the hardness of a material, a mechanical property that is widely used in the specification and comparison of materials, in companies in different industry segments.

Among its industrial uses of QAQC are

• Obtain a comparative knowledge of the mechanical resistance of a given material.
• Evaluate the result of the heat treatments.
• Evaluate the abrasion and erosion wear resistance of materials.

The hardness test is considered a non-destructive test. It leaves a small mark on the inspected component that does not compromise its technical performance and is one of the most popular mechanical tests in the industry.

Benefits of hardness testing:

• Easy
• Low cost
• Quickly
• Non-Destructive
• It can be applied to samples of various dimensions and shapes.
• Can be done on site
