Vicker’s Micro-hardness Tester

Hardness tests enable us to evaluate the properties of materials such as ductility, strength and wear resistance that will help us to determine and check if the material is suitable for a wide range of applications, including micro hardness testing. It has a broad load range and also, we can measure the depth of hardness. It will be operated by putting a controlled force on the surface of the material over a period of time. After a particular indenter is pressed into the surface under testing, the indentation resulting from it is measured and the software is also used to analyze and generate precise results.

Specifications:

• Make and Model: Mitutuoyo-HB210
• Indent: Diamond Indenter
• Magnification: 10x and 50x
• Vicker’s hardness and Knoop Hardness with AVPAK software
• Load: 10 to 1000 kgf (load applied for 10 to 15 seconds)

Research Focus:

• Vicker’s and Knoop hardness studies of the grown crystals
• Mechanical behavior of the materials.
• Various mechanical parameters such as deformation, fracture resistance, elastic stiffness constant, and brittleness of the materials
