Hardness Testing: Sample Preparation and Parameters Influencing Results

The perfect refresher course! Compare Vickers, Knoop, and Brinell test methods and learn how to obtain accurate and repeatable readings through best practices from our applications team.

Hardness testing is a useful tool for the evaluation of materials, quality control of manufacturing processes, and in research & development work. During hardness testing, it is important to keep the parameters influencing the test under control to obtain accurate and repeatable reading.

This webinar will cover:

• Comparison of Vickers, Knoop, Rockwell, and Brinell test methods
• Parameters influencing hardness test results, including indent spacing and level of surface preparation
• Common applications of hardness testing, including case hardness depth, Jominy testing, hardness mapping, and more!
