We help you get better understanding at hardness testing: applications, case studies and technical articles from industry experts alike
In this article, we briefly explained the importance and application, advantages and disadvantages of Rockwell hardness test. We also introduce the Rockwell test with different indenter types, such as diamond cones and carbide balls.
The Leeb method is a quick and portable hardness test method, which is determined by the ratio of rebound velocity to the impact velocity of a moving impact body. It is best applied to solid parts of the object for example casting and forgings. In the article, we include the advantages and disadvantages of Leeb method in details.
Vickers hardness test is a standard method for measuring materials’ hardness, which is commonly used to measure the hardness or softness of substances like metals, minerals, and plastics. Here’s the article for you to everything about Vickers hardness testing, including basics and principle, Vickers hardness test procedure, formula and calculation.
The Brinell hardness test is a standardized test used for measuring the hardness of metals and other hard materials. Do not know how to perform a Brinell Hardness test? This is an article to teach you detailed Brinell Hardness tests procedure on various materials.
The ASTM specifies different Rockwell hardness scales for various combinations of test loads and indenter types. Rockwell scales allow you to follow the standard scale tables and rules to get the accurate values of the hardness of your test material.
Imagine you have a gear or a rolling bearing! It is the hardness and the respective strength of these components that should be above the
Rockwell hardness testing is the most commonly used hardness testing method to measure the permanent depth of an indentation, which is finally compared to the Rockwell scale to derive the hardness number.
