The principle of the hardness test is that the depth of indentation depends on the hardness of the material.

In achieving this goal, Nanovea has also brought full automation to this type of mechanical hardness test for the first time.

These tests differ from impact and hardness tests in that applied force is absorbed slowly.

The difference in these hardness results was due to the difference in indentor geometry for these hardness tests.

Pencil hardness is a very common hardness test for organic coatings (ASTM D 3363).

However, for an HRC hardness test, the indentation process includes plastic deformation.

One of the most common causes of test variation results from the Brinell Hardness Test technique employed by the operator.

Q How can we reduce the variability in results from Brinell hardness testing on quench and tempered steel castings?

This method, which is only used nowadays for very large specimens such as steel forgings or rolls, is considered an indentation hardness test since the hammer penetrates the specimen, albeit with both elastic and plastic deformation components.

The WJN-HCU software offers unrestricted test parameter definition, and any measurement application can be defined in Excel, resulting in significantly more information about a material than can be obtained using a conventional hardness test instrument.
