• Engineers can use hardness testing to verify the composition or heat-treatment history of materials. • Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, and Shore are common hardness tests. Their use depends on the ...
To investigate materials’ mechanical properties, nanoindentation and micro-compression tests are often used. These properties of materials are interrogated using either load or displacement control, ...
Unique portable device for the performance of standardized, static ball penetration tests according to Brinell up to a max. load of 29420 N. It is possible to carry out hardness tests on materials and ...
It might not seem like scraping the top of a cold stick of butter with a knife could be a scientific test, but engineers say the process is very similar to the "scratch test," which is perhaps the ...
When designing metal parts, it's important to specify their hardness. However, many engineers have only a shaky understanding of what hardness actually is, or how it's measured. There are good reasons ...
This class presents a description of each hardness testing method, along with discussions on how to choose and perform a test, how to read hardness ratings, and how to prevent common errors. Hardness ...
