Micro Vickers Hardness Tester
Measures hardness over very small areas using a diamond indenter.
Overview
A diamond pyramid is pressed into a polished surface under a small load and the indentation is measured through the microscope. The small indent makes it suitable for thin layers, small parts and hardness profiles.
Applications
- Hardness of small or thin components
- Hardness surveys across welds and case-hardened layers
- Coating and surface-layer hardness
