Hardness testing of metals is a well-established method for determining a material’s resistance to indentation under a constant applied load.
Hardness testing is a well-established method for determining a material’s resistance to indentation under a constant applied load.
Metaltest UK is fully equipped to carry out Hardness testing at its laboratory at Milton Science Park, Oxfordshire.
Tests:
There are three main industry-recognised methods which can be applied to hardness testing:
– Vickers (HV)
– Brinell (HB)
– Rockwell (HR
Metaltest UK is fully equipped to conduct all three methods as required for applications such as full cross-weld surveys, ascertaining weld Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) area property changes, and the likelihood of susceptibility to cracking.
