In the field of metalworking, the significance of hardness testing transcends mere quality assurance; it plays an integral role in process control. It guarantees that materials function as required in the end products, from parts of an aircraft to car engines. Hardness testing can be customized to meet the needs of various industries, from rough c
Which Hardness Test Method Fits Your Material: Steel, Aluminum, Copper, or Plastic?
Choosing the right hardness test method isn’t guesswork—it depends entirely on your material’s properties (hardness, ductility, surface finish) and testing goals (precision, speed, non-destructiveness). For common materials like steel, aluminum, copper, and plastic, using the wrong method leads to inaccurate data or damaged samples. Below’s
