A Guide to Selecting the Right Hardness Testing Method
The optimal method for hardness testing and the suitable load vary based on factors such as the material being tested, the specific application, the shape and surface quality of the component, its intended use, and the specific requirements of the customer. Following a process of elimination, only a handful of options typically remain viable. This guide aims to provide you with the essential information to streamline your decision-making process.
More specifically, we address the following hardness testing methods:
- Rockwell Hardness
- Brinell Hardness
- Vickers Hardness
- Knoop Hardness
We then describe the suitable applications, associated requirements, and solutions for each method.
